[QUOTE="Old Rooster, post: 2147355, member: 108576"] Yes I do. If you can't see a slight crimp you need to do down a bit more. Thats why the OP said he can tune his loads with the amount of pressure. On my 47-70 loads I put a firm crimp on my bullet but others are different. Put a case in your press and FCD and turn it down until you feel the crimp.If you don't feel the crimp your not down far enough. On 308 I load 2 with a very light crimp and test fire them for accuracy,then a little heavier crimp for 2 more and check for accuracy. My 300 weatherby mag requires a fairly heavy crimp while both my 30-06's require a light crimps. If you go down too much the handle will be hard to press down. Play with it and you will get the feel of it. Old Rooster [/QUOTE]
