crimp die bottoming out

Hi-I am reloading 223 on my RL550 and recently installed a Dillon roll crimp die. The problem is that the crimp die bottoms out against the shell plate before it makes contact with the case. It appears that the die needs to be shorter for it to make contact with the case neck.

Thanks! mb

This is the die that I ordered:

Dillon Rifle Taper Crimp Dies
Stock #: dtcd
Price: $27.55
x1: $27.55
Die Type: .223 Remington - $0.00
Option Stock #: 21676

Sounds like the cases have been resized to much. I recommend a case gauge.

223 Case Gage 13254 $25.95
