[QUOTE="CBH Australia, post: 2270163, member: 116486"] Well, I was gonna ask a few questions, I will leave out why crimp? I downloaded the instruction sheet to read later. I will read the "Why I Crimp" thread next. I'm a long time reloader and read a bit but slowly getting to gain further technical knowledge. Opinions vary and I thought the general consensus was crimping is reserved for heavy cartridges, handgun rounds and autos. I only have one Lee FCD, it's for the .375H&H, based on the theory it's good to crimp these heavy rounds. My second question came up when they posted this. Is this all about Hammer Bullets. I have spoken to the guy who will Does anyone use the Lee neck sizing collet dies? I have a .280ai that I had built, I have faith in my gunsmith but the velocity ES seems high , given I have measured individual charges etc. New brass, Nosler BT Projectiles, all due care taken . I never chronographed loads earlier just looked to get 1moa or better but having gone down the rabbit Warren new rifle and some expense I would like to prove it's **** hot and shoot 1/2moa or so. The moral of that story is what I pieced together from various conversations is I think it's neck tension. I adjusted the seating die down a little and things improved. I might buy the crimp die online, another lockdown purchase. [/QUOTE]
