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.
