Crown on 12ga shell

I have had the best luck with the STS hulls especially if you plan on reusing the hulls quite a bit. The STS hulls can go 10+ times with normal loads. They also are a 1 piece hull. The other hulls including the "new" AAs ie the smooth ones which have been out for years are a 2 piece design. If shot too much the basewad can loosen up and come out of the hull. In a break open you can easily see if this happened if you make it a point to look down the tube when you insert your shell in the gun. On a mag fed gun your not doing this and if that comes out and ends up in your barrel its not a good thing

I am fairly new to reloading shotgun and have ran into a little problem. As you can see in the picture I attached the top of the shell is somewhat crowned out. I have fiddled around and can't seem to find a fix.

I am using a MEC sizemaster 12ga.shotshell.jpg

I think you need to set depth of wad a little deeper or try a different wad.
