I bought a set of Hornady .45 ACP and .40 S&W pistol die sets recently. After a couple of hours of frustration and some ruined brass cases, I realized the sets come with the ROLL crimp. You have to buy a separate taper crimp die for autoloading cartridges. A call to Hornady confirmed my revelation.
I bought Hornady dies because they were a little cheaper than RCBS at Cabela's. They are not a good value if you have to buy an additional taper crimp die.
I like Hornady. They make good stuff, but this is outrageous. I emailed the company with my complaint.
I thought I would warn others before they make the same mistake.
