My crimp die is shaving brass (pic). I realize this is because the flare is excessive at .478. I’ve been having issues with PC being damaged on my cast and coated bullets so I tried seating ONLY and separating crimp step. Should I lower a few thou or consider starting light partial crimp on the seating die? Dies are all Lee.

So what is the max flare .45 can have with sensitive lead that crimp die can handle without shaving brass brass shaving
