Ok, I'm using R-P .45 Colt Nickel cases, Hornady Dies, and Hornady 250 GR JHP.

The problem is I can't seem to get enough neck tension to hold the bullets in place during crimping, I don't even expand the case neck.

During crimping the bullet gets shoved down in the case.

I'm seating and crimping seperatly, but the bullet falls in the case!

Doing it together dosent produce results either!!

I don't get it, Help

I want this stuff for my M25 Mountain Gun, and I'm at the end of my rope!!
