I have a bunch of Lyman 358429s kindly made for me by forum member GP100man. Crimped in the crimp groove of untrimmed .357 brass, they BARELY fit the cylinder of my GP100. No problems with that so far, but if I'm not confused, the accepted way to load those in .357 is to crimp them over the front of the forward driving band (and watch out for case capacity limits!)
Anyone have a photo or tips for how to do that crimp? I assume it is not desirable to deform the entire driving band, so do you seat it almost flush before starting the crimp?
