[QUOTE="gl89aw, post: 1156385, member: 7257"] The Lee factory crimp die is ok if you are using the tumble lube bullets that may be a little big as it will basically size the case/bullet so it will chamber ok. on sem-auto rounds I prefer to seat the bullet at one station and crimp at another, its hard to beat a standard taper crimp die. If you use the Lee factor crimp I don't believe it is a true taper crimp and I would definitely adjust the die out far enought so it doesn't crimp, adjust the seating stem to seat to the correct OAL, run all the loads thru and then back off the seating stem and screw the die in until it crimps just enough to remove the bell and let the round chamber freely.
