[QUOTE="GLTaylor, post: 2563212, member: 111593"] nimrod, Try crimping to start with. Hammers are very "slippery" and using a light crimp helps them get started consistently. Butterbean has a video posted that many find helpful for set up and guidance. I personally start at 1/8th turn. Once I get a decent load, I fine tune with crimp settings, going up 1/8th turn at a time. I almost never change seating depth. Most find best crimp performance between 1/8 to 1/2 turns. Me personally, 1/8 to 1/4. Keep us posted. [/QUOTE]
