[QUOTE="hollywood63, post: 1371526, member: 103515"] Well being I'm in the same boat as you except just the opposite :) I'm new to the rifle scene but been reloading hand guns for a while now. Sounds like the crimp die needs some tweaking. Set it to taper crimp a bit more "flatten out the lip". Then pull the bullet and measure to see if it's getting swagged by the crimp. I'm guessing not and you just need a bit more crimp. I've found that most brands of dies need the adjustments tweaked a bit as all presses are not the same. The 44 if your gonna load full house mag loads your gonna want a good roll crimp to keep the bullets from jumping and locking up the cylinder. All the stuff about what powder, bullet etc you already know find what works. If your loading cast try [URL]http://castboolits.gunloads.com/forum.php[/URL] they are huge J word fans but a bunch of good guys just like the folks here. Being a newbie here :D hope this helps a bit. [/QUOTE]
