Hey guys,

I am trying to figure out this crimping thing for revolver cartridges. I would greatly appreciate any photos you guys can post of correct heavy crimping for any magnum revolver round. It would make my life a whole lot easier if I had some photos to go by.

thanks,

I use the LEE factory crimp die on my 454 Casull never had any problems yet
You do need to be carefull not to over crimp, with a roll crimp there is a chance of bulging the case just below where it is crimped, causing it to be hard to(if not impossable) chamber.
been there done that. :D

I normally don't crimp much more than to get flare out of the case that was put in during neck expansion. My Redhawk 44 mag doesn't seem to care for crimped loads esp. heavy magnum loads. I'm sure that even that small amount of "crimp" is putting some pressure on the bullet. I've never had a bullet "come out" :rolleyes: that I didn't want to.

I also use Lee dies for my 44.
