I'm having problems with crimping my .357 rounds. I'll get one round set up perfectly, and the next will over crimp and be bulged and not fit in the chamber. I'm using the Hornady dies with the seater and crimp in the same die. I've done the seating and crimping in the same die many times in the past. Just never with .357 magnum.
I'm assuming the problem is that the brass I'm using is different lengths. Though I've never had that problem with other calibers.
Is .357magnum especially sensitive changes in case length when crimping?
Would getting a separate crimp die solve the problem, or would I still have to trim all the brass? I don't trim handgun brass, is there a way to avoid it?
