I have read the threads on here which explain a little more case belling than normal is required to prevent scraping Hi-Tek coating during seating.
My expander die is set with a generous amount of flare, and most of my rounds do not scrape during seating, but some do (maybe 5-10 out of every hundred.
I noticed that belling often varies by case, which is likely the issue (it's mixed, once fired range brass).
Do you adjust belling for worst case, and as a result, add a little more than what should be needed for the majority of cases?
Should I adjust 1/8 to 1/4 turn until it stops? I just worry about going too far on some cases. I am already adding more flare with Dillon dies vs. Lee dies, which is the main reason for my hesitation.
My setup is an XL650 and 9mm Dillon dies. Most of my experience loading 9mm is on my old setup - an LCT with Lee dies.
