What is the "SD NEW CRIMP ADJUSTMENT BOLT"??
Quote from Reloader on January 16, 2014, 3:54 pmHi! I recently received a "Square Deal B Wrench Set and Bracket" and in the plastic bag and listed on the parts list was, unexpectedly a Part No. 19838, SD NEW Crimp Adjustment Bolt.
I went back to my manual Schematic and see that the "Crimp Adjustment Screw" that came with my press is Part No. 13908.
I've searched high and low for any information about the NEW bolt/screw without finding a word.
I've been having trouble with my .45 ACP rounds not "plopping" in my SIG 1911's chamber and am wondering if this new crimp adjuster might be a solution??

An adjustment to your crimp might improve your feeding. After crimping, a 45ACP cartridge should measure between .469-.471" at the case mouth. Larger than this and rounds drag feeding into the chamber. Smaller than this and you deform the bullet inside the case.
