[QUOTE="catamountsierra, post: 1285174, member: 79865"] Best I could tell is that the Scirrocco is a much tougher bullet using a much thicker jacket and harder lead than the varmint bullet. I know it was harder to run the handle on the press with the Scirroccos, but I didn't take the die out of the press or even touch it between crimping the different bullets. My only other guess would be flex in the press as I was reaching full stroke on the handle with all of the rounds I crimped that day. I have since retired that old aluminum Lee press as I had suspected that the press was indeed flexing. I like my current RCBS Rockchucker Supreme a whole lot more, but haven't tested this on the new press. Either way, a light crimp seems to work better but the die is capable of squishing soft bullets if you don't adjust it right. [/QUOTE]
