Phil,
It ain't the bullets, but the cartridges and the amount of friction that 32 of them create. Only the very "end point" of the bullet contacts the drum anyway.
Other than the challenge of building your own loader, why do it? Buy a repro, they work fine.
You are winding and locking the spring on your drum before loading? right?
You have taken it apart and cleaned and re-lubricated it also?
