[QUOTE="Shadowrider, post: 2711518, member: 3099"] I had to send a .38sp profile crimp die back to Redding. With my cast bullets running at .001 over jacketed it would shave occasionally because I just couldn't flare enough. If I did it was a bear to even taper crimp them and some wouldn't even go into the die. The profile crimp starts with a pretty heavy taper crimp and turns into a radical roll crimp if you keep going. I called them up, gave them the dimensions and they said it should work as they were exactly what they cut their reamers to. But he said I could send them 6 cases and 6 bullets and he told me he'd personally polish it out some. He also said they keep things on the tight side since their roots are in benchrest, it's basically just how they've always done things. Anyway I got it back a week later and it works flawlessly. I asked him to open it up .0015". He did. No charge... [/QUOTE]
