for revolvers I seat and crimp at the same time, for semi-auto's I always use 2 dies, one to seat and another to crimp.
I use an MP-MOLDS Lyman 525 clone in my 930 with a rifled choke, works very well.

I have a 245gr bullet from Accurate Molds that works great for subs in our AR's.

I use an Accurate Molds 147Y bullet, powder coated over 4.0gr of Unique in my 4.5" AR-9 pistol with suppressor.

Gas check designed bullets are more accurate with checks, even when powder coated. I gas check after powder coating.

I have a 6 cavity and use it in both my SKS and my 2 300 BO's, AR and single shot pistol (Encore). My favorite 300 BO supersonic bullet.

When it was first announced the price was to be about $750, I understand now it has blossomed to about $1,100... I was interested at $750ish, not so much at $1,100...
I have quite a few Accurate molds from Tom, he makes great molds, my preference in non HP molds. My 375 Hurt&Hurt and 450 400 Nitro Express both shoot Accurate Molds boolits.

The 120gr TC and the 125gr rnfp lee molds work well in the 357Sig, I load both of them in it. Accurate molds has some molds designed for the 357Sig as well. I have a new mp-molds 115gr TC that I...

I agree, no need for mag primers until you start using the slow ball powders like W296/H110. 2400 is a great one to use and there is no need for mag primers for it either.

I use 4gr of Unique under a 147gr powder coated bullet, I can't imagine you are having high pressure with 4gr of Unique under a 125gr unless you are having bullet setback...
The BPI buckshot manual has some 2" and 2 1/2" buckshot loads in it.

Yea, a 1-7 is going to be VERY difficult to get cycling and accuracy. I've had good luck with a 1-9 with 16-18gr of H4985 and an intermediate length gas. I do have a new to me Encore 15" 223 pistol...
