success but a couple of questions

Finally got time to get back in my man cave and work on my 44 mags again. I resized the cases that I had expanded too far. Reread all the instructions and pretty sure I got everything right. Oh and in response to above question, I have the Lee 4 die set.
I loaded 240g lead semi wadcutters over 8g of Unique. Read several places that this was a nice light target load. It fired well and put a nice dent in my steel target. The only thing I don't like, well maybe a couple. The lead is messy, it gets all gummy on the cases and shaves some when you push it in the case. Second, I set it to the COAL very close to what I found in a couple of books (as I remember it was 1.58). Some of my bullets would still turn in the case after crimping I tried a light crimp and pretty heavy crimp, didn't seem to matter. They were very solid in the case before crimping. I'm wondering if I have the bullet seated to the correct place, the COAL is correct. I'll try and take a picture and post.
