Trigger,
My point is that if people loaded their handguns understanding what they know about loading rifles they would have less of a chance to have issues. But they dont. Thats where the mileage varies.
Like clockwork, the standard response "get a LEE Factory Crimp die" comes out of the woods. Why? Because its pretty obvious folks like skipping things they wouldn't with loading rifles and the symptom curing seems more like help than the actual cure is, which most anyone loading rifle ammo already knows how to do. But that doesn't sell more dies or make people feel like they've conquered something.
You don't need four dies or five because you've created perfectly good functioning ammo that doesn't need ironed out at this end, then at that end with a special die.
A steel FL die set, like you have for rifle cartridges, works pretty well.
Gotcha.
But, since there's no shoulder to index off of like with with rifle ammo, pistol ammo makes me kind of lost.
