Just enough flare is need to get the bullet started. The bulge showing the outline of the bullet base is normal with some die sets. The expander does go down and opens the brass to except the bullet & bells at the same time. Cleaning pockets may or may not help. Clean them or use more pressure to seat them. The primer should be flush to .004" below the case head.
