or maybe your spray lube does the trick, lightly lube the inside neck. If you overdo it stick powder can bridge. I simply FL size the case, the expander ball gently expands it to .241" or so. Load up and seat a .243" bullet of your choice. Upon firing it will blow out a nice full improved .240 Banshee case. When loading them only push back the shoulder of the case enough to reliably chamber. No need to overwork the brass. Chamfer the cases prior to seating the bullet, no need to mouth expand. It's a rifle round anyway. No need for a crimp at all.

Are you loading for a revolver or single shot? Do you have Mr. Taffin's book "Smallbores" where Gary and I recounted much of the process in depth?
