[QUOTE="dougduey, post: 2944667, member: 33159"] I always set up the Lee Crimp Die as per the instructions, which said to turn it in 1/2 turn deeper after you set it to touch the shell holder. I'd always work up my loads from there. Now that I've put a couple of new barrels on, I needed to rework up some pet Hammer loads. This is when I've started playing with the crimp. I start at a 1/8 turn and find a good load. Then I go to 1/4, 3/8 and 1/2 turn. I've found that 1/4 to 3/8 seems to be the sweet spot for crimp [/QUOTE]
