I went ahead and started from scratch and reset my expanding die as well as my seating/crimping die, made quite a few rounds, and all went bang without a hitch. With the plain lead bullets being so soft, I gave just a *touch* more opening to the mouth of the brass (I was probably cutting it possibly too close beforehand, as the bullets were just fitting in the mouth by a hair, anyway). I'm running an OAL of 1.265 and my crimp is .471 if anyone cares for the numbers. I REALLY appreciate all of the help and advice. This is a great community. Oh, and this setup actually works just fine for the Rainier bullets as well as the plain lead, although plain lead is all I plan to use now.
