I will be reloading 45 ACPs for the first time. I own a Lee Classic Turret Press and need a taper crimp die. The Lee taper crimp die literature states "jacketed bullets must have a crimp groove." Several bullets that I would like to use (Speer gold dot, etc) don't have these (as far as I can tell).
This is a "dumb" question, but I'll ask it anyway - is it REALLY necessary to get a bullet with a crimp groove if I use the Lee die? Should I be looking for a different taper crimp die? And if so, would a die from a different manufacturer fit in my Lee press?
Any comments appreciated!
Thanks
