[QUOTE="SidecarFlip, post: 868432, member: 39764"] Myself, I like the Lee specific caliber crimp dies (if in fact you consider them viable is of course your own preference) simply because I load for the group and I don't know how the loads will be ultimately handled (in other words, mght be banging around in a hunting coat pocket or range bag for all I know). To that end, I machined the lower eccentric plate on a Rockchucker to accept a torque wrench in 1/2" square drive (I broached a square hole in the malleable casting). That way, I can apply repeatable torque when seating and crimping. I use it for opening case mouths on pistol (straight wall) too. I can get 'just the right amount' of bellmouth on a straight wall case without overworking the brass and ulrimately cracking the mouth. I believe there are a couple torque indicating setups on the market that retrofit presses..... [/QUOTE]
