aap2 asked about some crimp dies I made for the 41 Swiss Vetterli.
It was a long time ago, so "I forget" how I did it.
Went back and found I made a taper crimp out of a 44SPL die.
I machined it down to the length of the neck on my shells.
My shells have a long neck.
I made them as long as possible, so I could seat the boolet out far enough, to feed through the tube mag.
Overall length is 1.458"
I also made a factory crimp die.
Can't remember what I made it out of.
Marking had been machined off.
It had to be a 44 cal of something.
Had to relieve the gap between the fingers to get a good crimp.
