[QUOTE="Shadowrider, post: 3278851, member: 3099"] I have several sets of the Hornady dies in pistol calibers. The sleeve setup in the seating die is great for seating bullets. Not so much for crimping. They don't use a taper crimp. It's basically an abrupt angle. It's not a roll crimp either but it's closer to a roll than taper. They don't crimp worth a damn IMO. Also if you flare too much it'll be sticky going into the sleeve in the seating die. It's definitely best to buy a seperate taper crimp die and do that operation last as a stand alone die. I like Redding myself. Like you I got them for the free bullets. They aren't bad dies at all except for the crimping. [/QUOTE]
