[QUOTE="Deleted member 107796, post: 1680426"] Hey, I just got dies for my Ruger American in 450 Bushmaster and had a few questions. I read in the Hornady manual that this round headspaces on the case mouth and heavy crimps should be avoided so that excessive headspace is not created. Should I avoid or minimize chamfer on the mouth? Can it take a light crimp? I am looking at the Hornady Black rounds I've been shooting and I see a light crimp. I also notice that the fired case length is .007" longer than trim spec and wonder if they compensate slightly long case trim with slight crimp. With a 16" barrel, I am really impressed at the velocity and accuracy of this beast but it's pretty much a rainbow at 200 yards, with a 250gn Hornady FTX, and minimization of cant is critical. Thanks for any info you may have. [/QUOTE]
