[QUOTE="bigedp51, post: 1308651, member: 28965"] Zerk Don't worry about buying a new die for now, and just try trimming and deburring your cases. The VLD inside deburring tool has a 22 degree chamfer and greatly eases bullet seating. [U][U][URL]https://ads.midwayusa.com/product/435351/rcbs-chamfer-tool-vld-very-low-drag?cm_mmc=pf_ci_google-_-Reloading+-+Metallic+Reloading+Equipment+(Not+Presses)-_-RCBS-_-435351&gclid=CLfju8Wk1NMCFYlXDQodkU8AvA[/URL][/U][/U] Also if your bullets tilt when seating it can also cause problems because the seater plug doesn't fit the bullet. The average expander is approximately .001 smaller than bullet diameter. "BUT" Whidden custon die website sells expander kits with five expanders, the expanders range from bullet diameter to .004 under. The reason for this is neck thickness, hardness and brass spring back after sizing and controlling bullet grip. Bottom line, your problem should go away if you simply trim and deburr your cases.
