hello,
have a problem i have never encountered before in my 35+yrs of reloading.
i started flaring some .380 cases. i have adjusted the dies as i always have. i started with the screw backed out and gradually screwed it in
until i just had a slight flair ( and by slight, i mean it still did not let the bullet set on the case w/o wobble ).
i proceeded to screw the adjuster down a tad further to get just a tad more. then lowering the ram i looked at the case
and it had a bulge in it. i tried to adjust the screw out and in a few more time but if i adj. it so there is no flare, the bullet does
not sit on the case as it should. if i adj. it to to where i normally do for any other case, 9mm 45acp etc., it want to bulge it.
i searched this problem and saw a post where it says that some .380 die sets, the expander may be too long. if that is the case,
how would i rectify this situation. btw, the bulge is always the same distance from the top of the case. and is appx. about where the base
of the bullet would be after seating.
thanks for any helpful insight.
