Thanks for the help fellows. I'm using Mangus
200 grain cast LSWC's. I will try the methods
mentioned here, and see if I can resolve the
problem? NiteSite, I will purchase the extra
taper crimping die; as I only have a three
die set right now. I've been using 1.235" as
the OAL for the .45ACP. At that length, they
work great in my Sig P220. I forgot to say,
these cases were of a mixed head stamp variety, also. And it very well could be that
I'm using the dies without proper adjustment's; and/or using an improper seater
plug, causing the lead bullet's to tilt a little. All of these suggestions sound logical; and are certainly greatly appreciated. I will try to correct this
problem, and report back here on TFL!!!

Thanks to each one of you for taking the
time to respond.

Best Wishes To All,
