Now, put it back together, remove the mag, lock the slide back and take a picture looking into the chamber.

Not entirely sure what you wanted to see, but if this doesn't cover it, let me know.

Went and bought a digital caliper, with inch/mm for easy posting
case lenght inch mm
Fiocchi 1.252 31.82
reload 200 grain LSWC 1.268 32.23
reload 230 grain ball 1.258 31.94
Case neck/crimp
Fiocchi 0.469 11.92
reload LSWC 0.470 11.95
reload ball 0.471 11.97
so my LSWC seem a bit long, but those never gave me any problem.
It's always been with them 230 grain copper plated ball loads "as far as i remember".
crimp looks fine ?

Oh, JC, well, he's allright i think.. his real name is ean-Claude Camille François Van Varenberg , which is why he took my name and stole my thunder.
On a positive note, i ran about 500 rnds of reloads through the Dillon yesterday, hardly any hickups or problems.
No missed or crushed primers, just 2 primers that weren't seated deep enough.
Since before this i only had a couple of 100 and 200 round runs, with plenty of hickups, i was quite happy to do a big run properly.
I'm getting the hang of it.
I did not deprime in this run, i deprimed before, i think that helped to smooth things out a bit.
The depriming station seems finicky on previous runs, the case doesn't always line up properly and that throws the routine out of wack.
