Trying to help my brother inlaw out loading his 38 speacil. He has 125gr FN plated berry bullets they seem to seat correctly cases have no waves. But some of the bullets get stuck in seating die. Some of the rounds are also very tight in cylinder any suggestions would be welcome. Thanks

Mic' the bullets for starters...odd chance they are for a .38 S&W.. ie .360" or more.

And I mean use a micrometer, not a caliper...
...unless you can decipher 0.001" increments with yours.
