[QUOTE="Driller, post: 2041407, member: 25897"] From the looks of the case, could you be over-expanding the mouth prior to bullet seating, and thereby preventing the seating/crimp die from completely removing the flare? A Lee Factory Crimp Die can rework these rounds to where they will fit the case gauge. I had a similar problem recently with .45 ACP. I had crimped the loaded rounds to fit what I thought was my tightest 1911 chamber. I then bought a Sig 1911 that would not feed my reloads. The Lee die saved the day on about 400 loaded rounds. I have since bought a Wilson case gauge to fit the ammo. P.S. - Before reworking, my rounds fit the case gauge just like your picture and the Sig would not fully go into battery. [/QUOTE]
