Greetings,
How much do you turn your Redding Profile Crimp die when crimping on a cast bullet (not in its crimp groove)? Before I just used a taper die with half turn to crimp on the bullet and had no bullet creep even with mid range 357 Mag loads. My loads in question are in the range of 950 fps to 1,000 fps. I’ve been giving them a half turn of the die but the crimp seems a bit too much - Redding’s instructions don’t mention anything…
I’m leaning towards going back to my taper crimp die when crimping on bullets (I crimp on bullets at times in order to meet certain OAL requirements per reloading manuals)
Thanks all
