Hi everybody,
I need some help
I have a Lee Pistol Carbide DiFactory Crimp e. I cast 45 cal. bullets (pure lead) for a Ruger revolver (cowboy load).
How much crimping do I need to put ??
1- Outside of the crimp groove: I have to screw the adjusting screw 3/4 turn, to avoid that the bullet get partially out after a few "bangs" of the revolver.
2- In the crimp groove, I need to screw 2 turns. Is that too much ? Generate too much pressure

What do you think ? Any suggestion ?
Thanks in advance.
