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!

I see the peanut gallery has been having fun again at the expense of my honesty!

In my defense, at least I didn't screw up my gun like others that I shall not name, "you know who you are"!
