Just started loading 45acp, I noticed when setting up and running my first rounds through the FCD, when it first enters the die, there is a noticeable restriction/bump then a second one a bit deeper then the final expected one for the crimp. The first reloads where using Blazer brass, Bayou Bullets, 200LSWC and 225 LTC, both bullets did the same thing. The case measures .472-.473 at the bullet end. Is this normal? I've used Lee FCD on all my other reloads, 9mm, 38 special, .380, I've not really noticed this before. I think it's just the final sizing, the combo of the Blazer brass and the Bayou Bullets? No, haven't shot any yet, (still need to finish building the gun)
