.500 S&W Crimp Issue
Quote from Reloader on April 1, 2009, 2:44 pmHello,
Does Dillon make a Military style crimp for the .500 S&W?
I have used the Lee roll crimp and then ordered the Redding Profile crimp die with no real luck with either on holding the bullets in the cases after shooting 3-4 rounds the last round is usually out of the case 1/32-1/16 and I can see the crimp mark in the canalur, the redding die gives me 4 good consistance loads, but he last one is usually much lower velocity, Lee only gave me 2 rounds before they all began to creep out.
I'm using Berrys 350gn double struck plated bullets, any help would be great!
