Hi,
I have a Lock N Load AP progressive press. I have everything working good, (the resizing/de priming, priming, mouth flare, powder measure) except for the seating/crimp die.
In fact, it does not seem to be crimping at all. When I go to measure the OAL of my rounds with the calipers, the bullet just gets knocked back into the case right onto the powder by the pressure of the calipers.
This is the 3 die set I have
Do I need an extra die? What do I need to do to get this thing to crimp? Can anyone go over and detail how to setup the seating die? Thanks!
I'm reloading 40 S&W using federal nickel plated brass, CCI small pistol primers, and 3.7 gr of clays with a Hornady XTP jhp 155gr bullet.
