| Does anybody have pics showing what a light, medium and heavy crimp looks like using this die. Which crimp do you use on a bullet w/o a cannelure. |
Looking down at a 30-30 FCD, had to take pics at an angle to get them to come out, notice the gap in the crimp collet with die at rest. 
Better pic here, collets are closed about half way, a firm crimp. Don't crimp any more than this. 
Firm crimp on top, no crimp on bottom. |

No pic, but you would just want to see the 4 groves left on the case mouth.
Or look down into the die and watch the gap of the collets close up. About 1/3 closed wound be pretty close. Another option is a taper crimp die. The crimp die in my Dillon 223 dies is a taper crimp. I believe Redding sells these also. |
