Are you below the max load listed in the load manual?

Just working some dummy rounds. But will start at low end. I have titegroup ,universal ,wsf,700x and a lot of csb-1(using universal data)been happy with the csb1 universal is kind of dirty burning .
On the 120tc---- 1.107 oal hits the rifling in barrel, 1.095 . Passes the plunk test, but just covers the top of lube groove. Could go deeper to just below the drive band but concerned about pressure problems.
I have no problems with 45acp and developed a accurate round for 200swc and 230tc
