[QUOTE="Rich Coyle, post: 2830706, member: 70559"] Gentlemen, Butterbean suggested a Lee factory crimp die for dialing a load. On my first try I gave it about half a turn after touching the case mouth. Obviously that was too much. The next one was 1/8 turn and the next one was 1/16 of a turn after touching the case mouth. I guess I should have started with the small increment in the first place. (That's what he suggested.) The load is 7mm Hammer Hunter 90 grain bullet with the crimp in the top "groove". The powder is IMR7828 @ 99.0 grains. The primer used is a Winchester WLRM. The first group measures 2 3/8". The next is 1 1/4" while the last one measures 5/8". Visually I could not tell anything happened on the 1/8 turn and the 1/16 turn. But most certainly something is going on.
