[QUOTE="Moparman485, post: 3778255, member: 38840"] For 223, some times, I taper crimp For every other rifle caliber I use a Lee factory crimp die. I prefer taper to roll crimp (more forgiving) but on non-precision cambers where you don’t need to trim the cases each time, a taper crimp can still cause a slight bulge or roll due to long brass. The Lee FCD is immune to the issues for pistol, I now use and absolutely sweat by the Lee carbide factory crimp die (thanks to the help of some other members!). Gives you a consistent crimp and helps size off any slight bumps or bulges you might get while seating. It’s very handy. [/QUOTE]
