Lee .223 bullet seating die, PC .224 flare

[3006mv]

I am loading PC .224 bullets (Powder coated lead rcbs i did myself, after running through lee sizer). I use a flare on the case mouth.
My bullet seating die does not close this bell at all, adjustment of die is in as much as it will go, it touches the shell holder. I don't want to use the Lee FCD, I can't seem to adjust this w/o too much crimp. Any suggestions?

I use a FCD to remove the belling after seating CB 223 loads. Easy to set up to just remove the belling without excessive crimping. I have not had any success using the roll crimp die that forms part of the seating die.

Ok thanks I will just try to minimally adjust the fcd

they do make and sell a taper crimp die for the 223.
