[QUOTE="Blitzfike, post: 2200057, member: 807"] As stated above, straight wall pistol cases for semi autos headspace on the case length. When seating lead bullets (and most plated bullets as well...) expanding the case and flaring the case mouth is a necessity to get the bullets in the case and properly seated without shaving lead or plating and affecting the headspace by having the gunk build up where the bullet enters the case. A taper crimp or Lee factory crimp is the way to go with those. Some SWC type cast bullets will cause misfeeds if the shoulder is left sticking out beyond the case mouth. Experiment with a few for correct feeding before you load a large batch. Also, be aware that some powders like AA#5 are very sensitive to reduced case volume, like seating the bullet too deeply, and this can jack pressures very high very quickly. After a million or so rounds, I am still learning... Good luck [/QUOTE]
