Crimp Die won't crimp
Quote from Reloader on March 22, 2017, 2:10 amHello,
Let me begin by saying that I have processed thousands of rounds through my 650 and this is the first glicth that I have had.
For some reason my crimp die that had been working flawlessly for ages has started to act up.
The problem is that to get any crimp at all, I have to turn the die down so far that it pushes the bullet deeper than I require. Here are the specifics;
Reloading 9mm and use 147 grain jacketed bullets. COL is 1.1". Typically I use about 1.5 - 2.0 thousands crimp.
I am not getting almost zero crimp and the bullet is being pushed by the crimp die down to 1.05".
Is it possible the crimp die insert could be seized? When I look at the die there is zero movement in the crimp insert.
Any comments woud be really appreciated.
