I just started reloading 45 ACP for the first time last night and I have a question. I bought some 230gr RN lead bullets from Missouri Bullets and when I start to seat the bullets I was getting some cutting into the lead. I figure that I didn't open the case mouth enough so I expanded all the cases again. After seating all the bullets and crimped them I checked for fit in my barrel and none of them would fully seat. Instead of pulling all 50 rounds I decided to take the decaping pin out of sizing die and ran them all through. After I did that they all fit my barrel perfectly. Was this a safe or correct way to reshape my loaded cases?
P.S. I have been reloading now for 5 years but this is the first time with 45 ACP and lead bullets
