Proper adjustment, according to the instruction sheet included with all die sets may solve your problems. Die sets for handguns all have expanding/flaring dies. RCBS seems to have gone to an "M" style expander, as in 243Win XB's post. They sent me one for my .38/357 die set, and now my Lyman M die just sits. It takes a little bit of adjustment, tho, or trumpet-shaped case mouths are possible. The regular seating/crimp die included in every die set will finish acceptable ammunition, if properly adjusted. For a small percentage of rounds, the Lee FCD might help. Good luck!Hey, thanks for the reply. I got 2 issues: one, some bullets have a hard time seating; two, with some rounds, the bullet will move if you push it with just a little bit of force. A believe a flaring die and Lee's factory crimp might fix these?
