Crimping .357 ???
I have a Lee 3 die set, i.e. no specific crimpt die, I hope to obtain a carbide sizing die soon and am interested in whether I should also obtain a carbide crimpt die?
I note that the previous answer said that there was no need as the sizing die did the job?
Any opinions on this?
Also, does everyone crimpt there 357 rounds? I've loaded and fired many many rounds and never conciously crimped a round, with no adverse effect that I've noticed
I'm using about 7.2 grains of GM3 powder with a 0.358 diameter, 158 grain, copper coated bullet
Thanks for any/all replies
