Brass Bulge: When your brass will not fit in the case gauge what are your options?
We found a very good article on Uniquetek.com website. You can download the article
from their website. You will find it on this webpage as Tips File #12: Reloading Bulged Pistol Brass.

or my local copy of their article:Reloading_Bulged_Pistol_Brass-rev2.pdf

One user has the following observation to share:
I have a Lee factory crimp die for my 1050 in both 40 and 38 super , only problem happens is when I try to load lead bullets in either caliber , the die being .001 smaller and the bullets being sized .001 larger cause the bullet to stick a bit on the up stroke and the disturbance causes the powder to spill out of the case that just received it. If you always use jacketed bullets it works fine.
