480 crimping?

45Frank · Nov 24, 2017

Just bought a Ruger in .480 and was wondering what the preferred crimp is? I use both Lee and RCBS Dies and was wondering if I needed a separate die for Crimping. I know both seat and crimp with their seating die, just wondering what most here used and opinions?

While I would seat and crimp in a separate step(and I do for my .460), I see no need for a separate crimp die unless you are loading on a progressive, since the roll crimp produced by the RCBS die you have, is as good as you will need.

Agreed.

Seat and crimp with the RCBS die. Never saw the point of doing it in a separate step or with a Lee FCD.
