Well, I guess it is time to look for a different, better crimp die. I will see if any local fun stores have one, but I will probably have to order one.

All I used was the RCBS factory bullet seating die screwed down to cause a roll crimp into the crimping groove.

I think I will back down a bit from the load, also. 10.0grs of Unique with the 260's are right snappy, even with the 'X'frame Hogue's featuring a covered backstrap.

Thanks everyone!

PS anyone have an extra crimping die for sale or trade?
