[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 1148141, member: 25383"] once again listen to these guys as they are telling you right. I shoot a lot of cast lead bullets, and the grooves are larger than with a jacketed bullet. I from the school that I want a good crimp on a bullet going thru a revolver. Have yet to find a die that does all this better than the M die system. Yet reading one of the posters on here, makes me want to try the tapered crimp on a .444 Marlin case as well as the .450 Marlin. Yet I wonder if it will be tight enough in the .450. Recoil can get serious with that round. One issue with just about every sizing die out there is that they tend to oversize the case causing other issues. I found an older Lyman steel die set at a gun show, and honed it out three or four thousandths. Really works well (45LC), and the rounds have about .0025" clearance in the cylinder. Now looking for a steel 44 mag and 41 mag! gary [/QUOTE]
