What am I doing wrong?

I am using a 200gr. Lee bullet die, making .452 rounded flat nose bullets for my .45 auto. I am running them all through a Lee bullet sizer and then seating them in the brass.
The problem is that they are hanging up and not fully chambering. The place that the bullets are hanging up is about 1/32" from the mouth of the brass. I can see a perfect line around the bullet where it is getting hung just before being fully chambered. I am already at the minimum oal, so I am concerned that pushing them in another 1/32" could cause a pressure spike.

What do y'all think?
