Roll Crimp vs. Taper Crimp - 03/03/11
The lyman dies I have for my 40-65 will roll crimp the bullet in the case. A friend of mine uses a taper crimp die for all of his BPCR reloading. Is there an advantage to one over the other? The reason I ask is I've never crimped a catridge for any gun I've reloaded for, and the 40-65 is the first straight walled case I've messed with. After I bell the case mouth out enough to seat the bullet easily, if I don't crimp the bullet, I can fell a slight drag from the case mouth when I try to chamber the round. Am I getting to carried away when I bell the case mouth?
