    Flare question

    New to loading, so have a question I'm sure can be answered here. 38sp being pulled from the expander die, feels like it hangs up on the die. The flare is just enough to start the bullet and they have been crimping really nice. Is this resistance normal? Lee press and dies on 38sp. Thanks...Marty
