I have a mold on the way for 9.3x62, just thought about factory crimp.
Any ideas? I assume it's going to be essential for a hefty kicker like that(280gr boolit @200+fps)
Could I lap a .35 rem die and make a collar to activate the crimp?

To be honest about it, I have not had any problems using the roll crimp shoulder that comes standard on most rifle dies. I do not however load the 9.3x62.

Neck tension does more for holding a projectile in the case than a crimp does, the crimp is mainly to prevent bullet setback while feeding.

Lee used to make custom factory crimp dies for a very reasonable price, $25.00 comes to mind. I do not know what they charge now, but it might be worth giving them a call.

I have been shooting a NOE .366 boolit for years with a RCBS die and standard roll crimp, just lightly too. I have never had a problem in my M46 Husky.

I can vouch for the experience of prodigal son. My standard dies and a light crimp work just fine on the noe boolit in a Ruger African and a CZ stutzen.
