I have been loading .45acp lately and I got a few of these while seating the bullets....
I thought that maybe I wasn't getting the cases centered in the shell holder, but when I started paying extra attention to that I still got a few that did it. I noticed if I slowed down it happened a lot less but the issue was still present....are the bullets crooked on the case mouth during the stroke?
Did I not bell my cases enough?
The seating is noticeably stiffer when this occured.
I am using Lee dies on an RCBS Jr press.
Bullets are Berrys 185gr HBRN plated. They measure .452 in diameter.
Seated to an OAL of 1.270
