I'm trying to loading this round currently, and I am new to all of this, but unless I add more crimp (1/2-3/4 of a turn more with a seat/ crimp Hornady die) the bullet can be pushed into the case (when pushed hard against something) which is obviously changing the OAL length. I'm trying to crimp so that the bullet stays put while pushing on it when the round is complete. Does this sound like a reasonable amount of crimp to you guys or is there an easier way to know for sure the crimp is sufficient but not too tight?Thank you guys.</blockquote>
