Crimp on 45 acp

[Wes Sage]

I use the Lee Factory Crimp die, as it actually resizes the loaded cartridge, and crimps as well.
No FTF with any of the ammo run through their die due to unforeseen buldges from bullet seating, etc

I load cast 9mm and 45ACP. the cast bullets are sized to their respective bores. I found the Lee Factory crimp die resizes the bullet below the size I needed. I changed to a Dillon crimp die so I only touch the rim of the case. The Lee rifle crimp dies are different and don't affect the bullet diameter. I have no issues with the pistol rounds looking like coke bottles

I use the Lee crimp dies as well. I just follow the instructions that arrive with the dies. The ammo usually drops right into the chamber gages. Works well for me.
