[QUOTE="Tiny Tim, post: 1857420, member: 87887"] I used to shoot IHMSA. M revolver class pistol was a Ruger Redhawk in 44 mag. Shot 2000-2500 rounds per year out of it. Don't remember how often I trimmed but it served two purposes. A uniform roll crimp, and it extends the life of the brass. It would thin around the case mouth and crack. This was 25 years ago, before we had all the annealing info we have today. Reloading straight walled pistol cases requires a heavy roll crimp with cast bullets and the flaring die combined with it works that case mouth ALOT! [/QUOTE]
