If you can push a bullet into a sized case with finger pressure, the brass is not being completely sized or is old and is springing back to a wider diameter after sizing.

Proper taper crimps can be applied by just crimping the expanded portion of a case back to "straight wall" configuration.

I had this problem with Remington brass, as it's ealasticity was not good.

Good Shooting.
