    This is the right answer.

    If a 45 auto round lacks proper neck tension, it cannot be corrected with a taper crimp die.

    Tension is a function of the dimensions of the inside diameter of the case neck and the outside diameter of the projectile. The former being a tad smaller. The heal of the bullet cannot be larger than the shank of the bullet or it will act like an expander ball/plug and enlarge the ID of the neck.
