A rough finish or improper angle on the feed ramp can contribute to (or even be the main cause of) setback.

A bullet will accelerate until it leaves the barrel, typically around Mach 3.

Slight projectile setback is common, and a few thousandths of an inch is nothing to worry about. It's when the bullet recedes into the case by a hundredth of an inch or more that it can cause problems in semi-auto pistol rounds, such as 380 ACP, 9mm, 40 S&W, 357 Sig, 45 ACP, etc.
