Am loading bullets for fire-lapping my Marlin .444 and am having just a little trouble.  I feed them singly and when closing the lever it takes quite a bit of pressure the last half inch of travel.  I note that there seems to be a bulge where the bullet is seating in the case.  Is this typical fore these bullets?  They were purchased from Beartooth. The cases have been resized, trimmed, crimped.  What am I doing wrong?  Thanks-Karl

Marshall-Thanks for your quick response to my question.  Please clarify for me one point: do I seat the lapping bullet all the way into the case?  I have been seating them to the same COL as factory.
Thanks-Karl    PS  Can't wait to receive my order for hunting bullets from Beartooth.  You have an excellent website, please keep up the good work.
