[QUOTE="Buzzgun, post: 3066191, member: 4715"] No reason to crimp any of those. If you do decide you want to crip for some reason, you can usually do so with most bullet seater dies. Seat the bullet to the cannelure, then back the seating stem way out so the bullet won't be seated deeper, next, run the loaded cartridge back up into the die and screw the die body into the press until you feel the die contact the loaded case. After you feel it touch the case, screw the die in a little at a time and run the loaded cartridge into the die......examine the loaded cartridge after each adjustment and stop when it is crimped to your satisfaction.....when you have the die adjusted to crimp the loaded round, tighten the nuts on the die so it can't move in the press, then, run the loaded cartridge into the die and adjust the bullet seating stem down until it firmly touches the bullet. You may have to adjust the bullet seating stem slightly lower after you load the next cartridge to get the seating depth correct. [/QUOTE]
