It's hard to tell from such a poor photograph but it looks to me that either the die wasn't adjusted correctly or the inside of the neck wasn't shamfered. The result is that the bullet hasn't entered the neck properly and has pushed a buckle in the neck of the case. You should be able to pull the bullet and resize the case without too much trouble. Have another look at the instructions and ensure that the die is set up properly.

Incidentally you have either overdone the crimping or overdone the outside chamfering, once again hard to tell from the photograph.

Die in too far and the crimp ring is pushing excessively in and down?

Any chance of a better photograph next time? :twisted:
