I don't know...
Hi guys,
I'm reloading .38 special wadcutters with a 148 gr hbwc. I have a Lee Turret press and I am seating the bullets flush with the case mouth. I use these rounds in my PPC gun (S&W Model 10 6" bull barrel). They work great and have given me no problem.
The crimp which is being applied to the case by my press is almost like a squeeze. This is hard to describe but the crimp is a hair under the case mouth and it's like the case was squeezed there and then the part of the case above the crimp to the rim is somewhat flared out. Like an upside down bell.
This is giving my S&W Model 52 magazines a problem. Like I said it works beautifiul in my revolver but when fall rolls around and bullseye season starts I'm going to run into a probelm.
I'd rather address it now. Any guidance? It's a Lee die (carbide) which seats the bullet and crimps at the same stage. I know it's that flare that's the issue but how can I get rid of it?
Thanks for any help here.
