    How do know if the crimp is tight enough?

    I bet your right Jim, didn't think of that. I put the case in after it was full of powder (Dillon press) and the belling gets done at the powder station. You just gave me that "Light bulb" moment. Note to self: Dillon press users must put un-powdered brass in seating station to set die...

    How do know if the crimp is tight enough?

    Loading cast for the first time in 45acp. I tried running the calipers from the bottom of the case to the top, but the calipers stop right at the top of the case where the is still part of the belling. Should the calipers be able to go all the way of the case if the crimp is right?

    I finally drank the blue kool aid!!!

    Dillions are fantastic, I bought mine back in 02. You can load more bullets in a hour then you can shoot.

    So if I get a good head space with one bullet on the OAL, will it work with all the different weight bullets? 1.25 OAL should be the same for all (for that gun) right? Thanks for putting up with me. Keig

    Should I keep my cast OAL at the same as my jacketed ones, since it works in my Kimber? The link from Divo3 did not show OAL.

    Very cool thanks for the the link Divo3. bds what does the OAL do to the action of the auto load? Also do these cast bullets need to be crimped? Thank for the help.

    Switching from Jacketed to lead. Need help, please.

    Running a Kimber 45 have been loading the 230 gr. TMJ with Bullseye at 4.9 gr. and OAL of 1.275. Problem is I have the Lyman 48th edition and there is no data on the cast bullet. Have a box of Lazer Cast 230gr. RN With the cast bullet will I need to mess with the OAL? If I can use the...
