Yesterday I ordered some Precision Bullets 230grain .45 bullets for a christmas present for my brother.
http://www.precisionbullets.com/products.html
AFTER I already placed the order, I noticed that the website says:
"Make sure to have a good bell on the case so not to shave off the coating during the seating process.
Do not seat and crimp the bullets in the same die. Use a separate taper crimp die.
We highly recommend Dillon reloading equipment.
Do not use a roll crimp or Lee Factory Taper Crimp Dies.
The roll crimp will cut through the coating. You must use a taper crimp die.
The Lee Factory Taper Crimp Die will undersize the bullets causing accuracy and fouling problems.Most of the time a heavier crimp will work better."
My brother uses the Lee four die set for .45 loading, including the lee factory crimp die. He's never loaded these bullets before, and he's gonna be bummed if he has to mess around with the taper crimp feature on his seating die (lee dies have that, right?).
I guess I could get him a taper crimp die as well, but I'm kinda low on christmas gift funds.
Anyone have experience with Precision Bullets? Anyone tried using a lee factory crimp with these bullets?
Any suggestions?
Or should I just let him sort it out himself?
