45 ACP Reloading Problem
Hey guys, you all have been a great resource for this new reloader. I've been cutting my teeth on 9mm Lugar and feel pretty comfortable with that round, so I set up my RCBS die to reload some 45 ACP. I used my Winchester brass that was once fired, cleaned, de-caped and resized. The instructions on the carbide die set say the case mouth should be expanded (belled) just enough to accept the bullet base- no more!
I followed instructions for the bullet seating and the got the OAL perfect. Then I pulled the bullet because I was just using a dummy round to get the dies set up. This is when I noticed the bullet had a "ring" around it. Looks like from the base to about .244" up the side of the bullet is compressed. Trying to attach a picture to illustrate the issue that I'm having.
Any help is appreciated.
