accu-crimp - what is
Quote from Reloader on July 6, 2009, 7:08 pmThe description on Dillion dies is accu-crimp for revolvers and taper crimp for auto. What is a accu-crimp? new term for me.

Quote from Reloader on July 8, 2009, 3:23 pmThe accu-crimp is a two-stage crimp die. It starts with a taper crimp, which is sufficient for lighter loads. If a firmer crimp is needed, adjust the die down further. This applies a roll crimp on top of the taper crimp, giving a firm grip on the projectile.

Quote from Reloader on April 2, 2018, 4:28 pmI have had the Same question. I am loading .44 SPL as well as .44 Magnum (S&W Model 69), using a Hornady 200 gr bullet with cannelure. My question is do Dillon dies include "accu-crimp" in the carbide .44 set. Since I have been reloading this ammunition I have crimped the round until it freely goes into the Wilson case gauge and fall out when the gauge is inverted. I have had no problems yet but I do not want problems in the future. The next question is do you have information/ instructions in using the "accu-crimp", I can find no reference to it in the instructions included with the die set.
