45acp bulge top of the case
Quote from E30jef on February 16, 2024, 5:43 pmI have 230 gr fmj reloads that bulge were the bullet is seated in the case. These are reloads diameter in the case is 30.32mm & 30.73. I have new factory ammo in the case diameter is 31.30 & 31.38. Could it be the resizing die. Your help is greatly appreciated

I had the same issue on the 550.
Correct alignment solved the issue.

Alignment produced a bullet "signature" equal around the round's circumference.
