The case meets resistance and becomes misshaped as soon as it meets the die. I tried backing the die all the way out so only 1 or 2 threads were holding it in. As soon as the case got to the die - same thing. I've only rammed the case up the die about 1/2 way at the most. It made the whole case more slender up to the point I stopped. I actually doesn't make any sense. If the shell isn't making it up more than half way up the die, why is the shoulder taking a new shape at all?
