    Light will measure .001-.002 at the crimp, VS where the bullet is seated in the neck.

    OK. Reason I ask is because I don't see any crimp line. I'll measure it to see where I'm at. Thanks Wes.

    Anytime!! I usually do .004-.006 on mine, but I like a heavier crimp.

    .002" crimp. Measure mouth before crimping with bullet seated. Lightly adjust die until you get the .002"
