Have you had an opportunity to shoot the pistol with factory ammo yet? 

If there were no misfires I would reload 50 rounds making sure the primers are seated correctly and try again.

I'm a little late to this thread but I would offer a piece of advice. DO NOT use your reloads when you carry or even for home SD. Keep them for the range. You are just begging for legal trouble otherwise. An anti-gun prosecutor or a plantiffs attorney can paint you to be some sort of blood thirsty gunfighter type who isn't satisfied with commercial ammo, but has to reload his own "killer" bullets. Its stupid, it sucks, but its life. Buy a box of good factory SD rounds (no matter the cost) and carry those. Just my .02.

Strangely I agree with the pacifist quaker (;D).  But my reason is reliabliity.  I reload all of my ammo for matches and never think twice.  But when I carry(and I always carry) I stoke my gat with factory HPs only.  My reason is that if my pistol fails to go bang in a match it is little more than an irritation.  If it fails to fire when a gang of chain swinging nancy boys are trying to send me to Valhalla it is another story entirely.
