[QUOTE="boomtube, post: 430196, member: 9215"] My opinion differs; it will likely chamber fine and, if it does, it will surely fire safely. You "followed directions" too enthusastically. You over crimped and drove the neck backwards. Screw your seater up a half turn (or more), put an empty case on the ram and raise it fully. Turn the die down until it contacts the case and stop, put a bullet in the mouth and seat it with the seating stem until you get the OAL you want, them back the stem up 3-4 turns. THEN, turn the seater body down further, about an eight turn or so, or until you get the crimp you seek. When it's properly crimped, turn the seater stem down until it's in firm contact with the bullet. Secure the lock nuts for both the die and seater stem, your die is set to go and you have a dummy round to set the die up for that length and crimp anytime you need it, keep it in your die box.
