Just getting into reloading so this question may stem from total cluelessness, why are all my shells ending up with this hole in the middle? Using a lee load all 2, and just empty shells with wads to practice.

No experience with a lee but when my MEC do that, adjust the crimper. It’s set too high.

Are those federal hulls? If you have other brands, try them. Each different brand of Hull will crimp a little differently. Some it’s hardly noticeable between them, others it’s drastic.

I just started reloading myself but mainly buckshot. I use a Lee Load All 2 but I haven’t had that problem yet. All my crimps have come out perfect. I mainly use the Cheditte Fiocchi already primed hulls but don’t really have any experience any others hulls yet.

I don’t have any experience on a Lee either but I agree with what darkthirty said- lower your pre crimp station so you’re making more plastic available to close the hole. You’ll have to play around with it some but shouldn’t take many tries to get it right. Work it in small increments.

It can be a few things. They have mentioned a couple. Too deep can be an issue as well.
