[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3268560, member: 15054"] You could water bath anneal the case mouth a bit that may help. DO NOT anneal the entire case though as it will make the base soft and it will expand much more and if the chamber is unsupported it will expand into that area and the primer pockets get loose. When i flare the cases in 45acp i do as little flare as possible ..just enough to get the bullet into the case by about .020" or 1/2 of that. I do not crimp my cases either..I use a Lee Carbide crimp die on them but only run it through the carbide ring to iron out the tiny amount of flare. I have done some bullet pull tests and I found my cast lead bullets with Harbor Freight Red powder coat on them hold like super glue in the cases. I would try water bath annealing a few of them and see what they feel like after that. [/QUOTE]
