[QUOTE="SteelBanger, post: 2315123, member: 112192"] I apologize in advance for what might be a stupid question, but I've just started loading for a new 350 legend and am using 125gr Hammers loaded so that the case mouth is in the valley closest to the bullet nose. This is also my first experience with Hammers. I have the 4 die Hornady set which includes their taper crimp die but I'm finding practically no info anywhere on how to best use it. The best I can come up with is that it is mostly intended to remove any belling from the case mouth rather than putting a solid crimp on the bullet ... and with the Hammers boat tail you really don't need much if any belling to seat the bullets. Any advice on using this die or would I be better served ordering the Lee die? It's so cheap I don't mind scrapping the Hornady die and getting the Lee if it's that much better. Also, is there a lee die that would work on the 7SST cartridge? Thanks for putting all this together BB!! [/QUOTE]
