Great shootin RR! What is the diameter of your .45 Colt brass when it sized in your die? My Dillon die would squeeze it down to small and it would have an "hour glass shape" to the case. A die like that might help if the case doesn't expand fully to chamber size. Trick is to reduce some of the case contact for easier extraction.
I use a Redding Dual Carbide sizing die now and they come out like new factory brass.
Will have a look. Thks

I need to get a steel gong. Much more fun.
How large of one you looking for? The Tombstone type in 3/8ths thick AR500 give a nice sound! Larger the better.
