I recently made the move to complete my 9mm Glock Family (17, 19 & 26) by purchasing a cute little Glock 26 with the extended barrel, which is a Bar-Sto.
Man this barrel sure has a tight chamber ; it won't chamber anything else than new factory ammunition, anything reloaded won't chamber (and it's jamming the gun solid), even if it is well within specifications (my loaded rounds all pass the Dillon chamber check).
The reloaded rounds seems to rub in the chamber because of a little 'bulge' near the case head (probably caused by the radiused sizing die mouth of the progressive press). I've tried screwing the sizing die down a bit to the point it's touching the shellplate, but there's still that little 'bulge' that prevents chambering in the Barsto barrel.
Any tips to help me out on this matter?

The factory crimp die will solve that problem, if there are no problems chambering factory ammo, and the OAL is within spec. Coincidently, how does it shoot?
