Well my Hornady dies FINALLY arrived Friday and I have everything I need to start reloading 454 Casull. I have Hornady 454 Casull dies. CCI 450 SRM primers. One pound H110. 100 .452" Hornady 240gr XTP MAG bullets and I bought 100 Starline cases.
The first thing I noticed when I got the dies was that it said 4 die set on the box. I was expecting a 3 die set. I opened up the box and there is a die that says 454 Casull TC. I'm assuming this means taper crimp?
Could I use a taper crimp with success on this round? I hope so because I really don't want to seat and crimp in the same step. I already got a case stuck in the sliding seating sleeve because I crimped too much and buckled the case.
The odd thing is the destructions made no mention of this TC die or how to use it. I was thinking maybe you can only use it on very light loads?
Anyway, any advice or personal experience would be greatly appreciated.
