It has been a wile since I loaded 45ACP. Although I have had the kocked bullet issue many times in the past with pistole rounds. In November I noticed my Son had factory rounds with the same bullet as my hand loads. His bullets were all seated straight and mine kocked.
Since then I came across Dies in my 2020 catalogue. The Dies are designed to seat bullets true. They are called (Competition Bullet seating Die). One of the guys mentioned Redding dies earlier. Looks to me that is the way to go. Although If you don't want to spend the money. Then you can puts around with them for 40 years like I did. Hold the bullet straight, Bell well, Crimp with all cases same length and crimp carefully. The drop test with chamber is a must. Or for $144.25 You can purchase from Redding the Competition Seating Die. The times are a changing.
Good luck
