[QUOTE="lamiglas, post: 482026, member: 11075"] I am glad the crimping issue was mentioned, as i forgot to mention it. we use rcbs carbide dies, and we really had to play with the crimp to get it right. Even after we thought we had it set, we would load a cylinder and shoot 4 then measure the 5th. at first the 5th round had grown (bullet pushing out) to the point you could see it with the naked eye. towards the end, it would grow .003 or so and we used calipers to check it. you need to go slow, as there is a fine line between the right amount of crimp, to buckling the case. also, the crimp was alot easier to set with the xtps, than with the berrys. the berry's required a heavier crimp. have fun!
