[QUOTE="Bart B, post: 92614, member: 5302"] Your bullet seating die may be set too low in the press. This may be causing the seating die's crimping shoulder to push the case neck back and buckle the neck-shoulder junction. Use a bullet puller to remove the bullet, then dump out the powder. You can deprime live primers when you resize the case to get rid of most of the bulge. Get rid of the primer. After resizing the case, put the case in the reloading press, raise the ram to the top, then put in the bullet seating die and screw it down until the die touches the case mouth, then back off (up) the die about half a turn. The die should be set properly now to not crimp the case mouth on the bullet. Reprime and recharge the cases, then seat bullet to the depth you need. This should solve the problem. [/QUOTE]
