Hope I don't get yelled at for being on the wrong forum but here goes.
I've been loading 45LC with about 35gr 3f Goex and a .454 RB using a Lee Anniversary loader and a 4 die 45LC set. The fourth die is a "Factory Crimp Die". I have been using it on the RB simply because I don't want the little buggers falling out at an in-opportune moment shall we say. Now....
I'm getting ready to order a .38 S&W 3 die set to load for an 1895 H&R that belonged to my grandfather that I don't want to use smokeless in. The 3 die set of course doesn't have the aforementioned Factory Crimp Die and I don't see one listed anywhere.
Since it isn't in the set and I can't find one, how important is it in the scheme of things. I'll be loading approximately 145gr lead bullets in these and I have no idea what the BP charge will be but it's gotta be small given the size of the brass.
Gentlemen I would like your opinions and or advice.
Thanks,
