[QUOTE="Rod Snell, post: 1156392, member: 796"] You need to use something to take out the bell from the front of the case, and for .45 ACP, an ordinary taper crimp die is prefectly fine. Just adjust it to take out the bell plus .001 to .003; don't overdo it The Factory crimp die is for fat bullets and buldged cases, which you are more likely to deal with in .40 S&W, especially range trash brass. I use some Lee equipment and dies, but their "purple prose" literature gives me hives. [/QUOTE]
