I have been loading for my 9mm BHP and two Sig 228 with never a problem. Done by the book. Some months ago I ordered several thousand cast bullets from Laser Cast. Top quality stuff! However, none of the bullets, when seated to manual depth and even following the reference material from Laser Cast, chamber fully in my Walther. The bullets include: 115 grain, 122 grain, and 125 grain round nose. Also included is 125 grain truncated nose. Not one of these bullets will drop into the chamber of the Walther.
Prior to loading I wanted to make sure the bullets would seat properly in the barrel. I pulled the barrel to make sure and that was when this became obvious. Seems the bearing surface of the bullet ogive is too long. Federal HP ammo fits fine. Looks like I need to find another bullet profile that matches the chamber. Any input? Are Walther barrel chambered shorter than most? Thanks
