This is what I’m working on, Military 223 cases. I am trimming all cases and using the Dillon super swagger on the primer pockets. Using 55 grain jacked BT bullet with H322 powder and CCI primers.
I am loading 5000 of these stored in stripper clips and bandoleers in ammo cans. This is going to be my emergency ammo.
This is my first attempt at roll crimping. I have never felt the need to crimp for my particular needs until now. I have RCBS standard Remington 223 dies. I set the die per instructions to roll crimp the shells. But I’m having a hard time determining if they are crimping. I used a magnifying glass to check but really don’t see any difference.
Should I see a crimp? What should it look like?
I have searched old threads but wasn’t able to find an answer.
Thanks for your expert help.
