[QUOTE="Old Rooster, post: 2147323, member: 108576"] The first time I heard of the factory crimp die was in the 80's. While visiting a friend in another state we were working up loads for his rifle at a range and just using the seating die to crimp the bullet in place and just fired a shell and was checking the poi when a guy down the line to our left fired and it sounded hard!People screamed and we ran down there to find the shooter had metal in his face and a kid screaming.The action on his rifle was split.We helped him off the ground and noticed several people injured so the R O called police and ambulance.It was later determined that a bullet suffered setback and blew up due to that. Thats why I use neck tension but check EVERY shell before I load it in the chamber as I use a sharpie on where the case mouth meets the bullet,that was I can see bullet set back from a distance. Many law suits and several injuries make me wonder about the dangers of bullet set back due to recoil. I may return to FCD as I have one for every cartridge I shoot. Thanks ButterBean.
