Hi everybody!
I couldn't find anything in regards to my question but I know sometimes it depends what/how you search to find a good answer.
So if I missed this, please just forgive my stupid question and point me to the corresponding thread here.
The facts:
I have a RCBS carbide 3-die set for 45acp (with taper crimp/seating die) which I'm happy with. It does what is intended to do for all my 1911s.
Pretty new is a RCBS carbide 3-die set (Part # 19112) for my wifes lever action.
This one's got a roll crimp/seating die.
Until now I only used 250-255gn lead bullets with a crimp-groove so the roll-cromp-die fits perfectly.
Now I wanted to try some 185gn and 200gn jacketed hollow points in the lever action.
So here's my question:
Can I use the taper-crimp die from the 45acp set for the jacketed bullets with 45 Long Colt brass?
Is this: perfectly OK / wise / not so smart / total B.S. / .... ?
(I found some taper crimp dies (from Lyman or Hornady) for 45LC but they have to be ordered and would take some weeks or even months to arrive here in Europe.
So I thought that maybe my 45acp tape crimp would do the job)
Hope you can help!
Thanks a lot in advance
