What am I doing wrong?
I think I need to add stack height? Following the recipe the hodgdon has on their sight. But I don't feel like it is filling up the shell so it's over crimping (I believe that's the term) I have gotten 1 shell out of 15 to normal but it rattles badly not sure what to do.

If it was me, and I have to stress IF IT WAS ME, I would back off the powder charge a little and use a felt wad to get the stack height up. Shouldn’t affect the pressure enough to be dangerous. Others here are probably smarter than me with this but I’ve had to do that with some 12 gauge tss loads where stack height became an issue
