Not helping with my problem question.
If I wanted to "make" a cannelure in the jeacket bullet I could just use the roll-crimp die from the 45LC die-set.
But as I wrote before - I stopped the project for now for several reasons. (see above)
If you are going to order a die anyway. I highly recommend getting the collet style crimper instead of a taper or roll crimp die. The collet will crimp is enough to form a cannelure without potentially bulging the case as a roll crimp die would. I’m not sure a taper crimp die will hold a bullet firmly enough to prevent bullet jump or setback.
It sounds as if you only want to know if what you wanted to do will work. I get that. I was just offering a suggestion.
I never had any "luck" with the plated bullets in 9 Para or 38 Special. It worked OK in 45acp with 200gn SWCs.
But I haven't got any of those left so I can't try it.

I admit - I never found any love from the promises about what Lee dies do.
But it seems to be a very economical investment as those dies are pretty low priced even at my place.
The Lyman Taper-Crimp die for 45LC goes for 80€ here plus p&p.
The Lee is to have fpr 17€ plus p&p.
So it seems worth the try with the Lee die.
But before that I just give it a try with a couple rounds and single load them and shoot them out to 100 meters to see if this works.
If I still have problems hitting the target at the distance I can spare the money on the die.
Thanks!
