Crimping

I don't see how you can go wrong with the Lee Factory crimp die. Taper crimp or roll crimp without crushing the case--

The commercial reloader that I buy from says the Factory crimp die is the best thing since sliced bread.

I never have a chambering problem and always spot check them at the bench with a gauge.

I agree 101% with Brooks! I use Lee factory crimp dies for 9mm, .40, M1 Carbine, .357, .44 - roll and taper as appropriate. I have a great piece of mind knowing that if an autopistol round makes it through the crimp die there won't be any chambering problems (the FCD sizes the case on the way in and out of the die).

And I agree with PaulTX.

All my pistol rounds are finished by Lee FCD. Do it!

Thanks guys

I ordered Lee Factory Crimp Dies in the calibers I Reload, also I got the Redding profile crimp die for 38/357, It is suppose to give the best and most consistant crimp.
