I am new to taper crimping, I have loaded for revolvers for quite a few years, but have now started loading 45 ACP. I am using Hornady dies and with Berry's 230 RN. Here's the problem. I load them and taper crimp to .470. Then I will rack the slide and load the dummy rounds. The OAL goes from an original 1.265 to about 1.250. I then do it again with the same round and it goes down again. I experimented and basically put a slight roll crimp on it and it still does it. My question, where am I going wrong, is it me or has anyone had any other problems with Berry's? I'm guessing its me, can you share some knowledge? I need help.
