So picked up some 185gr Berry's plated HBRN bullets to try in my 45acp 1911. Running them on my Hornady LNL AP with 6.0gr of Unique in Speer brass. But I have an issue I cannot fix. Everytime I put a bullet in it, I end up with plate seperation on the sides where the case is pushing it. No matter how big I go with the mouth expander, it still does it. I believe it is because I am seating and crimping in one stage currently. Does that sound right? I have tried moving the seating and crimping around but I can't seem to get it to work out. Any ideas? I didn't really want to get a seperate seating and crimping die but I can if there isn't another solution.
On another note I have did this same load, but with a Nosler 230gr sporting handgun bullet but did not have any issues with jacket seperation on that load.
