Can you post a photo of the crimp?

Can you judge neck tension? Try seating without crimping, note the bullet position, then push pretty hard on the bottom of the case with your thumb and see if it drives the bullet in. Minimizing your expansion and flare might also help with giving tighter bullet pull for better ignition. Last ammo I loaded was .38 Special with Lee dies. I flared all the cases comfortably in case I wanted to use cast bullets with any. Wound up using only Xtreme plated and Nosler JHP. The Xtremes seated normally (can't be started by hand past the flare). The Noslers would slip all the way to the canalleur with firm finger pressure! I was using HP38, so I hoped they would not be a problem, and accuracy seemed fine, but I'd have been sorry about that die setting if I'd been planning to use a slow powder. I will have to try much less flare the next time I plan to load those bullets.
