Out of round by .002" to .004" is certainly not helping anything at all.
It wil cause gas cutting past the bullet.
Check your unloaded bullets for roundness.
Check your sized cases for roundness before loading them.
Check your cases after seating, but before crimping.
You could have a cracked carbide ring in the sizing die.
You could have a bullet seating stem that doesn't fit the bullet causing crooked seating.
You could have a defective crimping die.
Just some things to look at and rule out.
