Thanks guys for the feedback. I think I’ll go with “no crimp”. If I have a problem, I’ll try the factory crimp die then. Looks like an OAL of 2.25” or less should be good to go. Will probably go 2.24” and see how that works. Not trying for benchrest accuracy, just something that works well if they start coming over the wall, so to speak! Thanks again.


If we live long enough, we all have regrets. But the ones that nag at us the most are the ones in which we know we had a choice.
