I am having an issue with Lee 44 special die and .432 cast bullet
a while back I bought a Lee 3 die pass through 44 Special and bought some Matts 250 Grain Plain Base Hollow Point Bullets sized to .432.
Set up the dies on my Lee Hand Press today and resized 5 cases then was going to set the seating length to the small crimp groove and the bullet would not fit in the case,Kept fiddling with it and was able to flare the case enough to set a bullet in the case somewhat but when I tried to seat the bullet and set the crimp I noticed that there were 2 or 3 slivers of lead that had been pushed out to the crimp groove,20:1 alloy
The flare or bell is enough but apparently it does not go back far enough?
I was able to crimp a couple of dummy rounds but feel like I am wasting my time as I was wanting to fit the barrel of my Rossi 92 which comes out about .431 using a Micrometer .
Any way , can I buy a Larger expander plug to fit the Lee die ?
Is that going to solve the issue ?
The Lee dies are a set of 3 with the powder through .
