Note factory 357 Winchester slides in no problem.

Can you measure any difference between a factory round and your reload at the case mouth?

I would get a Lee Factory Crimp Die then and do the crimping separately.

Thanks, would the Lee Factory Die go straight into a Hornady Iron Press or would I need special bushings? Is the Finishing die the same as a crimping die?

I love to shoot old winchester calibers, which have thin case walls. When I started loading I had trouble when I hadn't flared the case enough, the force of the projectile trying to start will bulge the case enough to stop it from chambering.
I've also had trouble when using way to much crimp, this can also bulge the case.
They are very different cases to 357 though, but just a thought.
I have five 357mags, including a 4" gp100. Awesome caliber and awesome revolver, you'll love it once you work out where your reloads are going wrong
