What is the diameter of your expander plug?
It should be substantially less than bullet diameter for adequate "bullet pull."
A good friction fit is of more value than a hard crimp.
No idea on the diameter.

However, the expander die is also the charging die and it is set up in such a way that the bullet's rim, when later placed in the case mouth, only really nestles on the lip to allow it to stay in position for seating.

Effectively, almost no bullet length is in the case, before being seater in the next die, so flaring is quite minimal, I think...
