[QUOTE="RT2506, post: 1581448, member: 10178"] I use the Lee Factory Crimp on all my semi auto loads and on the old military rifles I shoot that most have throats a mile long. I get better accuracy with the crimp than without from my vast experimenting. This is how I set up my die to get what I call a medium crimp that I have found works best for me no matter what the caliber or rifle it is used in. I put the shell holder in the ram and raise the ram with out using a round, just use the shell holder. I then screw the crimping die down while looking into the top of the die watching the crimping fingers. When they start to close up I stop half way between full open and full closed. I replace the Lee locking ring with one that can be locked down with a set screw this way I can repeat my crimp when I remove and replace the crimping die in the press. [/QUOTE]
