I have been loading pistol ammo for a while with good success. Recently tried to load 223 and ~ 20% of my cases are bulged just below the neck. It is happening when I try to set the bullet. I have tried several types of lubes and methods from lubing the bottom/side of the bullet to putting a little inside the case opening. Boat tail bullets seen to work better but not always.
Any tips - do I need different brass (heaver wall)?
M&P AR15 Sport
Hornady 55g bullets
Lee turret press
Lee dies
Once fired Remington cases
Cases trimmed if needed
The cases will fit into a Wilson gauge but won't feed
