as stated ing the title, when i seat the bullet in the case for 45/70 i seem to consistently be getting an offset bulge where the bullet stretches the brass when going in. the bullets are short and fat so i cant really tell if they are going in, or seated crooked. It seems bullet type or construction doesnt make a difference. I have only R-P brass and am using Hornady dies. The bullets used were 405gn rem, 300gn rem and some hardcast bevel base 300gnRNFP. They all shoot well but just dont look right to me. its like the case only bulges on one side of the brass. Weak part? Cheap/bad brass? I lightly flare before seating and the brass is clean, trimmed, and dies are fairly new.
anyone seen this before or have any ideas? I thought it may be the seating cup but im not sure. Kinda looks like the cup would be good for the leverevolution bullets,(cone) but i havent taken it apart and in the directions with the dies, it didnt say.
