To get enouth flare on the case, just screw the die in further. Also if you don't have the die screwed in enough, it won't activate the powder drop fully and you won't get the right amount of powder in the case. Good luck with the Load Master. The only Lee press that I would recommend is the Lee Turret Press with auto index. Less headacres and still capable of 200 rounds of pistol ammo an hour.
