    From early reloading manuals I have read a light roll crimp and tension were what was recomended

    Thanks. My first 45 ACP reloads were done like that; very light roll crimp (just enough to remove flare)...

    Dusty, in the 45ACP Shot shells, the seater/crimper die has a GC seater that holds the over-shot GC down so the case mouth can be roll crimped over it. If the over-shot wad / card / GC isn't held down you'd end up with it mashed in the middle of the crimp, if not sitting there on top of the crimp. That wouldn't be too good.
