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
