Not that Bert is losing weight isn’t important but here are my latest shooting results. 
Shot the six rounds.  All went into the chamber but one is still tight coming out.  I had been soaking the rounds and looked at them today and found that one of them has a circumferential split near the neck.  I’ll cut the bad portion off.  I can probably still use it but if not I never throw out long pieces of brass.  I think I’m going to re shoot the 1 piece that is tight and not the others? 
I need to bug Lee Precision and get an update on the 45 EX dies.  The 38 EX and 40 EX brass is ready to ship to them but I’d like to see the 45 EX first.  I want them to make an additional die/dies that will pre form the brass enough to get into the full length sizing die.

  

Are you still loading these with BP ?  The ES result is way too much.  Good call on the dies.
