I made about 60 rounds of .44-40 reloads and even though I made a dummy round that chambered just fine, and I also checked the first several live rounds and they chambered fine, in the end I had about 20 rounds that would not chamber. I am assuming it was a crimping issue and I wrinkled the case mouths.
I shot the good ones but I am wondering what I should do with these 20 or so bad ones? I already went ahead and bought a Redding Profile Crimp Die and I was wondering if the bad rounds can be salvaged simply by running them through this die? Or do I have to pull the bullets and start all over?
FYI, I am shooting these in lever action rifle so I definitely need a good crimp.
