    Great Collet Crimp for the 500 Magnum! Thanks Dougguy

    I had the magnificent Dougguy modify a Lee Collet Crimp die in 500 S&W Magnum so it crimps exactly at the case mouth. Please let me know if you think I need more crimp. Thanks. Boats

    Only you can tell - do you have any boolit pull in the last round fired in a cylinder?

    I just started using this crimp die. I haven't had a bullet pull yet with my rcbs roll crimp. This crimp looks sturdier.
