[QUOTE="Bill Johnson, post: 1063396, member: 84129"] Nice sharpshooting, buddy. To physically squeeze, for instance, .024" in wall thickness and .308" in bullet into a roll die, where do you think the material goes as it enters the die section that is less than .332? [URL="http://s813.photobucket.com/user/Dollar_Bill_2009/media/ReducedLeeCrimped65SMK_zpstq4scnxj.jpg.html"][IMG]http://i813.photobucket.com/albums/zz53/Dollar_Bill_2009/ReducedLeeCrimped65SMK_zpstq4scnxj.jpg[/IMG][/URL] Granted, that's an extreme example but you get the idea. The other thing that happens is neck walls are extruded at the mouth, leading to early neck cracks. Yes, people do crimp non- cannelure bullets. It's just not the best way, or the recommended way to address the OP's issue. [/QUOTE]
