Hi all,
I had to stay home a couple of days with my dog whose rear legs suddenly became paralyzed last week. That's a different story & she's doing better now. That time allowed me to finally get to some casting.
I casted up some boolits from my newly acquired Ideal #358429 mold for my GP100. I think they came ok for my first attempt.
I figured I start loading some of these working my way up. I also figured that the crimp should be in the crimp groove of the boolit. So I made a dummy round that way & when I checked the COL it was 1.665" My Lyman manual lists the COL as 1.553". I loaded the dummy round in my revolver & it has about .030" of clearance.
What say the experts here about where I should apply my crimp? I also welcome any comments & critique of my boolits.
Thanks,
Sig
