Looks fine to me too. I prefer a heavy crimp, if the brass doesn't last as long I won't complain .To me, from your picture, it looks fine.
Yep, not a lot will survive a 400+ grain bullet , even at 1000 fps. Easy on the shooter, likely full penetration on target. Even increasing velocity to try to flatten trajectory is a challenge as it doesn't really improve it enough to justify the beating a 405 @ 2000 fps will give. Somewhere in between 1000 and 2000 fps I found a velocity I like that shoots flat enough and will punch clear through anything that breathes . I use a lot of trail boss though, if I want more I like imr4198.Trappy loads will get it done
I know how that goesMy buddy, who was watching me shoot them off the sticks... still laughs at me. He said it was too painful for him to watch.
