45 acp issues
Quote from Reloader on January 2, 2019, 5:17 pmHello All,
New to forum, currently own a square deal b, loaded thousands of 40 cal, hundreds of 44 mag with no issues.
Recently purchased 45 acp tool head and dies and having consistency problems.
About 20% to 40% of the reloads have a case that swells near the rim causing the round not to fit in the chamber checker. I have re-adjusted the case flair at station 2, depth setting at station 3 and the taper crimp at station 4 many times and can not eliminate this problem.
Any ideas?
Further information; all brass is under overall case length. Some of my brass is range pick up. The bullet is lead round nose at 200 grs.
Help!

Quote from Reloader on October 11, 2020, 4:33 pmDefinitely not a waste of money. Once you get it lined out it's a great little machine. I had the same problem when i first got mine. I just kept tampering with it and eventually got it right and have loaded 50,000 + on it now. for me it was as little bell as could be used without any problems of the bullet getting shaved from not fitting in the mouth properly, and just alittle crimp. Each bullet type I have loaded has a sweet spot as far a seating depth goes. I hope you got it figured out.
