Can anyone involved in the design of this bullet explain why such a tiny crimp groove? This groove allows for only the smallest hint of a crimp. A good strong crimp with my Redding profile crimp die requires some serious effort and deformation of bullet metal.
I may end up passing this mold on to someone else who will be happier with it. I love everything about it, except for the almost non existent crimp groove.
