Taper crimps
Quote from Reloader on April 20, 2016, 12:23 pmWith the availability of .357 bullets without the crimping cannelures, two that come to mind Xtreme and Berrys, I would like a taper crimp die for .38 and .357 made for the Square B press. Just wondering if anyone else would be interested. Perhaps if a number of customers express some interest Dillon may one day offer one. Thanks for reading.

Quote from Reloader on April 26, 2016, 4:24 pmHave you tried backing off the crimp die until it just squeezes the case mouth against the bullet? A taper crimp would be nice, but I really doubt they will make one for .38/.357.

Quote from Reloader on April 30, 2016, 3:43 pmQuite a bit of difference in the crimps. I'll remove the roll crimp die and use my old trusty RCBS junior with the Lyman taper crimp die to finish up.
Thanks for asking.

Is there a way we could substitute in a .38 Super crimp die? Not sure if this would work.
