I recently switched from shooting (USPSA) Bayou 200gr SWC bullets to Zero 230gr FMJ bullets. One thing I noticed, I had to crank my RCBS taper crimp down a lot more (maybe 1/2 turn) with the 230s to get the same .470 +- .0005 crimp I've been using with the Bayous.
I'm speculating this is due to the softer Bayous taking the crimp easier than the jacketed Zero 230s, but thought I would run it by the brain trust here.
I'm using a LNL, with the Hornady seat/crimp die only doing the seating in station 4, and an RCBS taper crimp in station 5. Brass is mixed headstamp.
