This^^

If you manage to push the size down at the case mouth any smaller then it turns into a crimp. Just remove the excess flare you have created is all you have to do. Or, dont flare so dont remove.

On a side note R93, do you use a bullet feeder? I have never had to balance a projie on the case mouth as the press turns so never needed to flare the case mouth. I just push the projectile up into the hornady seating dies floating sleeve with my finger and when the ram is half way up i just pull my finger out of the way and it drops down onto the case ready for seating. (I apologise if this is a retarded question, i have no idea how a bullet feeder works and i dont understand why one needs to balance a projectile on a case mouth)
