[QUOTE="shamu2240, post: 2903132, member: 87202"] So I'm loading up some 166 grin hammer hunters for my 300WM and after reading the posts on hammers I decided to try my hand at crimping. How do I know if I have the correct amount of crimp to start out with? I know there are many variables but I don't want to waste components on doing things the wrong way. I'll attach a picture so you can see what I'm talking about. I set up the LFC die per the directions I found over on the hammer forum. I ended up going two 1/8th turns, did I put too much crimp on it? Are you supposed to see the crimp ring and the slots from the collet fingers in the brass?[ATTACH type="full"]493769[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
