Crimping lesson for Ell.
 

Here's a pic Ell, both a jacketed bullet and a 240 SWC. Look at the crimp on the SWC, that's what you want.

Thanks Dave, yup that's what mine look like!

How's this?

Other than looking like they're seated a hair too deep, pretty good Ell. The crimp looks good.

big boolits

Dave, thanks! They're at 1.600...a few came in at 1.599, none larger than 1.603. These are old bullets and the crimp ring is messed up on a few.

I studied your pic carefully and tried to mimic it to the tee, but this was a close as I could get without overcrimping and torquing the brass.

Thanks a million for the help Dave!

any powder in there? You better drill a hole and check!!

Roflmao!!!!!

Xxxxx

I'm leaving Ell be in case of future screwups on my part...self preservation :D
