I have been using this die to crimp well possibl 500-1k rounds, came home tonight from my girl friends and though i would finnish loading the last 5 bullets i have and then crimp the 60 rounds i have in my bin ( using a single stage press ). so i start to crimp and buckel the sholder as showin in the pic, i raise the die up and down nothing works, so i am thinking maybe the shoulders didnt get set back far enough ? i am clue less though

Is the collet free to move inside the die, or is something jamming it? it was stuck, i hit it with some 3 in 1 oil and reset the crimp and got all the ammo done, curious to know is their a way to take the collet out so i can clean the die and inside and out of the collet ? i noticed a little junk around where the collet slides in and out of the die and would like to clean it and put some frog paste up in it |

Looks like the collet is jammed. I suppose it's also possible your trim length is way to long. The FCD shouldn't do that, but a regular crimp die will collapse a case like that if the brass is too long. Agreed. Are you sure this didn't happen when you seated the bullets? |
