Got my dies for 45 colt and in setting them up, I am having problems with the powder measure (or the die, not sure). The powder measure had been working fine with 9mm. So, basically what's happening is if I adjust the depth of the die so that the flare is correct, powder doesn't pour into the casing. The drum isn't making a full rotation. When I screw down the die so it's almost touching the shell holder (as the directions say), I get powder, but the flare is too big. Big enough that I believe the bullet will sink further into the casing before I crimp it. It just slides right in. So, I really don't know how to make this work right.
