[QUOTE="Shadowrider, post: 2041036, member: 3099"] From what I can see in the pics...This right here. ^^^ It looks like the typical "glocked" brass problem. The Lee FCD should fix that right up. Just beware of using it with lead bullets, but for jacketed it's just what the doctor ordered. But check you crimp too. Lots of new reloaders get the crimp way too tight. You should be using a taper crimp die and just pushing the case mouth to the outside of the bullet and then put just a little bit of pressure on it and that's it. The crimp is not what holds the bullet in place, it the case tension on the bullet. The crimp is just sort of "insurance" at most and is really to just make sure that all of the case mouth flare is gone. [/QUOTE]
