If you're shaving lead, you're doing something wrong. For reloading cast bullets the mouth of the cartridge should be flared just enough that you can start the bullet by hand, then finish with the seating die. Go easy on the flaring, it's easy to flare too much. Some folks us a Lyman M die, some folks use a flow-though die, some folks use a Lee universal flare die, but you've got to flare the case for cast bullets in both handgun and rifle calibers.
