[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3136366, member: 15054"] I shoot lead bullets and all different weights..I have shot 300gr HP XTP's from my 45acp. I use Bullseye powder and 300 primers never let me down.. but like said hard to get cci sometimes. I have used 231 and some other powders like longshot but keep going back to bullseye. 3.8-4.3 gr in my gun will fill the need for any bullets I use. My 200gr gets 4.0gr BE I use a lee carbide factory crimp die for final die when reloading. I just iron out the crimp and do not actually crimp anymore than .0005" Say you measure a case right before the crimp and then continue to measure up all the way to the end of the case mouth. Without a crimp at all there would be a slight flare.. iron it out with just the carbide insert from the lee die and you eliminate almost all the flare depending on bullet OD etc. Just barely crimp it and I get the case mouth .0005" or less smaller od than just below the crimp. This is for my lead loads as I do not want peeling lead as I shoot softer alloy than most. [/QUOTE]
