Finally got my powder and primers. This is my first ever reload. Using Nosler sporting pistol .451 230 gn FMJ flat nose. Testing for proper COL using plunk test I arrived at 1.215 or there abouts. Also emailed Nosler for proper COL and they sent load data with a COL of 1.20. So I make some dummy rounds to test function. Round chambers no problem, eject but when I measure the COL has dropped to 1.205. Repeat with same round and it drops second time to 1.188. I am assuming this is not normal and not acceptable. I pulled the bullet and re-did the dummy round (using same case and bullet) back to 1.215 but this time tightened down the crimp about 3/4 turn. I am using Lee classic turret press with Lee 4 die set using LFCD to set crimp. So second try was crimped with about 1.5 to 1.75 turns of the adjusting screw. Is my problem not enough crimp or am I off base somewhere else. Thanks.
