Hi all, I'd like to build some 45 Colt trail carry / defense loads using this LSWCHP from GT bullets: http://www.gtbullets.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=74 .
The problem is that the OAL when using the supplied crimp groove is too long for my revolver cylinder (Uberti 1858 factory conversion). So a couple questions here:
The problem is that the OAL when using the supplied crimp groove is too long for my revolver cylinder (Uberti 1858 factory conversion). So a couple questions here:
- Is there a problem with crimping the bullet above the supplied grove? Will a medium roll crimp dent the bullet and reduce accuracy? I assume this will raise case pressure so published data will have to be downloaded.
- Can I seat the bullet even deeper and roll crimp over the SWC shoulder to avoid denting the bullet? In this case I assume the load data will have to be reduced even more.
