i have a wilson and i have been crimping my rounds to ~ .468-.469 as their manual recomends. I messed on up (not the crimp though) and this is what it looked like after being pulled with an inerta puller.

So..... I don't know much but not sure how good this is. it definitly mashed the lead in. What do your lead bullets look like when pulled? I changed it to .471 to see what they look like when pulled and that seems to be right when the lead starts to show signs of the first slight deformation. Is that normal? Suggestions?
 
That is a lot of crimp. All it needs is to remove the belling and just a touch more.
