LOL, I've not yet had the pleasure....and a little more and little more. Did that on some 45's a couple weeks ago...yep, they where crimped alright and then some.

ok, I have a question, I am kinda new to reloading, and i am currently reloading 40 S&W, and i notice that the the bullet diam + 2x case thickness all ways adds up to 0.422 which seems fine, however i have been seating before crimping and i noticed that before i crimp the the very end of the case diameter equals 0.422 almost exactly ( on occasion 0.421 ) does this mean i shouldn't have to crimp the bullet after seating since it is the proper measurement anyways? i really appreciate any feed back, also just for a little more feed back i am using bullseye powder, Montana gold 155gr Jhp, winchester primers, an nickel casings with the suggested starting grain of 5.1 ( lyman reloading book ) with an OAL of 1.125, any thoughts or suggestions on this set up?
This thread has been very helpful, Thanks to all for the good info on crimping.
