When resizing the 45 acp my resizing die is not belling the case neck enough and when I go to seat the bullet, the bullet ends up crushing the neck slightly. I'v tried adjusting the die, but nothing seems to work. These are Lee dies.

Re: 45 ACP Problems
the resizing die isnt supposed to bell the case, its the powder charge die that does that. if you have the 3 die set like i have, stage 1 decap and size, stage 2 bell and charge, stage 3 seat and crimp. i run these on a lee pro 1000

On the die you should have to turn the inner part of the die down. Don't move the whole die just the part that threads into the die.

forgot to add, if you are using the lee auto disk with the flow thru expander die, seat the die a little deeper, and it will bell
