I am using an RCBS die set with a taper crimp die that has been nothing but a problem from the get go. I've been doing this for a very, very long time and am sick of the problem of trying to get enough crimp to prevent bullets from jumping up, never down. I load full house magnums stuff and granted I don't have any more problems with bullets dislodging, I am getting an occasional colasped case and it aggrevating. I always keep my brass at the same exact length so crimp is equal on every round. But it never fails that because of the worry of bullets jumping up while firing, I try to put as tight a crimp as can be accomplished with the taper. My question is, will a roll crimp give me a better hold on the bullet so I don't have to deal with colapsed case in the batch? When I load 44 mag. the taper cimp is suficient without having to use excessive pressure. What is it about the .357 that makes so prone to this when loading full house stuff?
