I have a question about loading lead bullets. I tried loading it the same way as tmjs (.45acp), and had to put more crimp on them to get the neck size down to .469-.471. Is this what you have to do? I know that lead has a larger diameter for a reason, I just wanted to make sure I am not doing something I'm not supposed to do. Is it supposed to be a little larger as it will chamber at .474. This probably sounds like a dumb question, but my thinking is why is lead larger if I'm just going to size it down. Is it because it is a taper crimp and that the base is will still be a larger diameter and helps seal in the bore better?
Probably should say these are 200 gr. RN, looks like they have a rim that should be even with the case?
