Default 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.

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

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!
