I use an RCBS partner press, this will improve your loads.

that being said i get the feeling that your seeing the line where the sizing die stops, this is completely normal. The sizing die has a tapered interior, not all of the brass will reach in far enough to be completely resized. As long as the sizing die is screwed down to where it almost touches the shell holder, this is how the die is designed.

If it is a balooning or a crinkle you have other issues, however as long as the brass is within specs, you are all set.
