[QUOTE="SteelBanger, post: 2287436, member: 112192"] Ok thank you, this cartridge headspaces off the case mouth just like a straight wall pistol cartridge so a roll crimp is definitely a bad idea. I think I sort of answered my own question above but I was probably over thinking things. I only had 20 cases prepped with the bell on them for the Hammer bullets but moving forward I'll skip the belling for those bullets. And even with the RMR flat base bullets they have just the slightest rounded edge on the bottom so I'm able to bell to the bullet diameter of .356 and get them to seat ... then as the bullet base seats into the case it pushes the case diameter (ID) out to that same .356 for the length of the bullet, which effectively takes out the bell and gives me about 3 thou of neck tension. The loaded rounds chamber just fine so I think I'm good here and adding some taper crimp isn't changing the OD of the case mouth, in fact I think it'd have to squish the bullet to do so. [/QUOTE]
