[QUOTE="Sanford, post: 2373411, member: 27733"] That's probably enough to account for the peculiarity in powder weights. As for crimping ... if you need to crimp a bottle neck rifle case you're probably over-expanding the case mouth. Most expanders are a little oversize to make bullet seating easier, but they can be reduced with a drill motor and a bit of emory cloth - some people even size without an expander installed in the die which works pretty well when loading boat tails.
