    Having over-crimped one with the Lee FCD during setup and later pulling it to reclaim the powder, I can tell you it doesn't peel through the jacket.

    The hard part here is that my semi-expensive match bullets have very thin jackets. A regular blaster-grade bullet has a little more meat to the copper. I don't know what bullets you used when you pulled it out and reclaimed.
    Just doing what I can to stay on this side of the dirt.

    My Lapua bullets are running low. When I get more, I'll also try this out.
