Just look at it as a learning experience. I have been reloading “awhile” and I have similar difficulties. We are learning every day.
If you can find a copy of it there are several very good articles in the NRA’s cast bullet book about loading the 45 ACP which you may find helpful. You can generally get a copy through the interlibrary loan process.
My Dad shot Bullseye in the 1950’s and ‘60’s and he would take his 1911 apart and try rounds in the barrel as he loaded them. Later he had a second barrel which sped things up a bit. I know a fellow in San Angelo who has a bolt action 45 ACP rifle he uses for load testing.
