Try using the micrometer to compair your case sizes (and bullet length) against a factory load. Also a good scrub of the inside of the cylinder occasionally doesn't do any harm.
+1 Another good idea...

After a while using shooter bullets you will get carbon build up at the front part of each chamber of the cyl. This can make good chambering of a bit longer bullet into a built up chamber difficult... A good cleaning brush of proper diameter...brass only...will work this crap out over time...Use Hoppes or other good solvent.
