Crimping problem
Quote from Reloader on August 5, 2017, 8:57 pmI am getting about 1 out of every 10 shells with messed up crimp. Some are a 4 star, some are a 5 star or a totally messed up crimp. They are closed but messed up. All of the rest are the same as factory. Any suggestions?

You might need to clean and/or lightly lube the insert so it can freely rotate to line up with the flutes on the fired hull.
