Make sure you haven't got the die screwed done to far.

I've bulged cases before.
Takes a lot of ball powder and a long bullet, but it can be done.

I've seen this when the seating die was turned down too far and was over-crimping the case.

If the seating die isn't touching the shoulder measure the dia of your necks before you seat a bullet and then after if there's more than about .004 you might have to use some dry lube. Some dies really size the necks down and if your brass is work hardened you could be getting alot of spring back after the expander button pulls through
