- I'm very certain the slight bulge is because of the bullet. Seems to match the length of the bullet. Seems tight enough so the bullet doesn't press in by hand.

I will take a few more measurements, compare o factory round I.e. clambering in a safe barrel, try to increase and decrease the crimp to see how things change, try a few different headstamps...

Are you maybe pushing the round too far into the seating die, adjustment should fix that.
