Setting up a seating die can be a head scratcher if you don't do it all of the time. This video will go over the steps for adjusting a .357 crimp.

Thanks for the video!!! Just getting started reloading, 45acp particularly, find myself watching your simple process over the many other videos I've watched! Thanks again for sharing!!

Thanks for the great video. I also have RCBS dies but have been using the Lee Factory Crimp Die instead of the RCBS crimp die because I thought I would get a better crimp with Lee. The Lee adds one more die change to the process. With your excellent demonstration, I will now feel more confident using my RCBS die for setting and crimping.

Nice Rock Chucker I also use RCBS Rock Chucker Supreme but I also have a hot aft lick n load as well, but RCBS is just my main it’s pure quality and their customer support is one of the best. In my experience I’ve never had a RCBS go faulty on me or break or anything. I’ve used Lee, Hornady and RCBS. RCBS is by far my fav. Some People swear by Dillon presses and the newer alien presses.

Okay, IMO the best way to set the seating and crimping die is to use a factory round and put it in the shell holder and adjust the die to that round. There will be slight adjustments but for the most part the round will be just fine as long as it matches the factory one.

@1911geek3 жыл бұрын
Once you established bullet seating depth to correct spec... Mae a witness mark at 6 o'clock on seating die and locking ring. Now you can do 1/4 turn and set what ever chino tightness you desire. Of course back out the seating stem couple of turns and screw seating stem back to position after final crimping is set. I make a dummy round of my favorite most commonly use bullet with out active primer I use it to check seating depth and specs now and again

@DanielBoone3372 жыл бұрын
Would you say splitting this up into 2 steps seating then crimping with a crimp die would be better or this would be just as effective?? I've been reloading for a little while now but I never reloaded for pistol before. I just recently bought a Dillon 550C only problem is when I ordered a die set from Lee it didn't come with a crimp die like most of their rifle die sets do and finding a Lee factory crimp die for 9mm is not exactly an easy task... I was going to run them through my Dillon and swap over to my single stage and run them through using the crimp on the bullet seating die but figured I'd check and see what others are doing because I've always been told for rifle you don't necessarily want to crimp and seat at the same time...
@Sharps-im4lb2 жыл бұрын
I do not crimp my 9mm rounds. My manual backs this up but does say a mild crimp can be used IF needed. Remember 9mm uses the rim to establish head space so the most important thing is to make sure you trim to the correct length. Always consult your manual to be sure.

Funny, I didn't see you that caliper at all!. the cannaluer is not the same height on all bullets. I prefer a little more accurate COAL.. just saying. your method is ok ,if your brass has been checked, and is all at the same exact trim length within say 1 to 2 thousands. If not, you will find some of your cases over or under crimped!.. that's why I do the crimp process separately, you can actually feel each case getting a good crimp or a lite one...and adjust accordingly as you go.....

Why complicate the process???Step:1 back off the crimping die and seating nut.Step: 2 put a live round in the press and push the press handle all the way down Step:3 tighten the crimping die and seating nut down on the live round till it gets tight. step:4 test and asses the crimp and make fine adjustments if needed.Done!
@user-mt4vo4ey5n4 жыл бұрын
I don't understand. You pushed the bullet in to get the case to crimp exactly where you wanted it to on the bullet. At that point the C.O.L. must be checked before crimping, no?
@Sharps-im4lb4 жыл бұрын
Nevada Sage COL is established in step one. You seat the bullet to the correct depth then back off the seating stem. After the correct crimp is determined the setting stem is lowered to contact the bullet thus maintaining the correct COL. Hope that makes sense.

@faultroyHe foregoes the use of calipers to adjust seating depth. He simply repeats adjusting the bullet seating knob and raising the ram till the top of the case mouth is in line with the cannelure on the bullet. Making no caliper measurement is just odd to me.
