[QUOTE="Pulp, post: 2840435, member: 14195"] Both 38-40 and 44-40 are a bit tricky to reload. They have very thin case mouths and are very easy to crumple during the crimping stage. I would highly recommend getting a Lee Factory Crimp die, and do your seating and crimping in separate steps. Do not use large rifle primers, only use large pistol primers. Pistol primers are a tad shorter and will seat deeper into the pocket. This is important when loading a tubular style magazine rifle like your '92. Check Starline for brass, they make good stuff. For the ultimate load, Goex Express BP or Swiss BP will give you the most fun you can have with your clothes on. [/QUOTE]
