PRESS RECOMMENDATIONS

Thanks. Saw the note on Brian Enos site about using other manfucture dies. Seems the Dillon seats and crimps in separate dies, where most other manufacturers combine both operations in a single die. Ironically Lee has a crimp die that should work if I wanted to go that route, but never had an issue with RCBS's 338-06 die set.

I'm starting off with the 454 Casull in the Dillon 550, since that is what I need to reload now and follow it with the 338-06. Have a couple thousand rounds each of the other calibers (9mm, 45 ACP, .223 and .308), so have some runway until I need to buy those conversion kits.

Maybe I'll trade you back some of the Freedom Munitions 124gr 9mm ammo for some counseling/training once it comes in.

There isn't any crimp required on any rifle round short of rounds in tube mags. The seat/crimp issue isn't an issue.

The more I think I know about reloading, the more I realize I don't know.

Thought on bottleneck cartridges, there was a taper crimp applied or is that marketing speak?
