Non concentric "flare" or bell at station 2
Quote from Reloader on October 5, 2018, 3:38 amHello
After "flaring" the mouth of 45 ACP rounds at station 2, I have observed that the shell openings are not concentric. No, I am not over flaring the cases and the rounds appear fully seated in the shell plate. Any suggestions please?

If it is not round deeper in the shell I would check the sizing/decapping die for round.
If it is not any of those and the bullet seats ok I would not worry about it.

Measure the dimension from the base of the case to the case mouth at several points on the case. See what the variation is. Normally this has no effect on the accuracy or function of the ammunition.
