Lone Wolf chambers are shorter than OEM glocks ( common knowledge,duh )
If the load fits the LW chamber it's OK

Lone wolf will open a LW barrel to "GT hole" with authorization and $35.
when you buy the barrel. You won't have to have all the additional shipping charges
Just ordered my third LW barrel Back ordered until August

I usually draw data from several sources. This time I looked at Hogdon, Lyman 49th ed. and Oregon Trail. Some from publications and some from Handloads.com subscription.
there are seating depths from 1.260 to 1.253 listed, I'm at 1.250
for  lyman cast bullet #401043 w/blue dot starts at 9.0 gr. going to 10.4 gr. I'm starting low as usual
Shows bullet ridge

They chamber now because they are seated deeper than spec, and crimped tighter than spec, but they will chamber and eject now. I'm just curious regarding the change in burning rate/pressure.

I guess I forgot to mention I'm crimping with a Lee taper crimp die as a separate step
Just enough to take out the flair. thanks.
With the semi-auto head spacing on the mouth I don't want to alter it.
they chamber OK

Reloading 10mm ammo / .402 frustration fix

Hello,
Longtime reloader,but mostly a lurker here with a couple questions
I am reloading lead (Penn) WFNBB.sized .402  10mm . because my Lonewolf barrel slugs .401

My problem is these bullets cause a wrinkle that won't pass the Wilson case gauge specs.
By the time I get the bullet tension to .422 its almost a roll crimp but they chamber and eject OK.

I have used the Penn .402 with Blue Dot, seated 1.255" with a .422" neck tension before but cannot find my targets
so I begin again. Should I forget about .402 cast bullets? and just use .401?

My other load is DT 200 grain WFNGC they pass the Wilson gauge OK and shoot well. They are .401
Thanks for your input
