Just tossing a little tidbit out.
The biggest problem I have had is what happened when the bullets were seated. You go through the motions to get the proper alloy hardness, the proper diameter, then you shove it into a case that squeezes it down.
You also have to make sure that once sized, the expander opens the case up enough to no compromise the size of your bullets. Also the bell of the case mouth must be sufficient to allow the bullet to pass without acting as a sizer or shave anything off the sides of the bullet. Some brass also has more tendencies to spring back than others which can also be a problem.
Just a couple of things I have found when loading cast, especially when using the softer alloys.
