[QUOTE="David_h, post: 2903182, member: 123918"] I’ve never left such a deep mark on my crimps but I actually am revisiting my methods as I also just reread the tips on Hammer forum. Previously I’ve been using my “zero” setting where the die touches the shell holder absent a cartridge. With that zero a 1/2 turn gives very light crimp. Now I read that “zero” should be where die collets just touch cartridge placed in shell holder. I’d expect more like 1/8 turn but not tried it yet with that zero. Either way I’d try backing off a bit; except your groupings should tell you what is best. [/QUOTE]
