Setting up dies

No, You can buy the crimp dies seperatly.

And, pay attention to car-15's post. If Your close to Westminster I could stop by and have a look see.

if you are in southern colorado I run a semi up and down I-25 from pueblo to new mexico I can stop by and take a look.

Holy shit. Would that be the result of over/double charging? Could that happen from just not crimping the bullet?

Awesome! I'm in Westy on 88th between Wads and Independance. I wish you could come over tonight, we're shooting tomorrow morning and I'd love to shoot off some of my "Scott" brand ammo.

PM Your addy, I'll see. :mrgreen:

PM sent! [pirate]

Scott you will do no harm if you crimp it light or not at all. Like I told you don't crimp it excesive there is no need too.

Why the round is getting stuck in the die has me stumped you are useing the same set of dies that you used with me yesterday.

If you want give me a call you have my number if you lost it PM me.

Yea, You want to be careful with .45 ACP, it headspaces off the case mouth, so, You don't want to overdo Your crimp. A nice taper crimp is the way to go. Of course the bet way is the Lee crimp dies, It's almost impossible to mess those up.

So, basically, I should have gotten Lee dies instead, damn.

What happens if I don't crimp it (or atleast such a small crimp that I can't see it) and fire one off and it ends up not working out? How much damage do I stand to do?

we call that a kaboom below is an example, I would never fire a round when I question if I made a mistake reloading it. my, or the life of others around me are not worth it. you will figure it out it just takes time and practice.

Come on Osprey don't tell the guy he can blow his gun up because he didn't crimp the round enough. If you don't know what your talking about don't give advice. :roll:

[Scott]

Thanks Tim. I think that the crimp was too tight. Marlin came over and took a look and said it looks alright. I'm going to make up a few rounds and shoot them tomorrow and see how it goes. Thanks for the info on not blowing my gun up with a lack of a crimp. That's exactly what I was looking for.
