Hammer111Question about crimping the 350 legend
Yahoo yipee got my crimping die.
Now, do you crimp with the bullet in the case. I watched a video. It didn't address it, it looked like it was last on the turret style reloaded.
I used it with the bullet in the case. Started out with the die touching the case holder.
I didn't notice anything or feel any resistance, nor could I tell by looking at the bullet.
I have the die 3 threads from being all the way down. Still don't notice anything
Is this normal.

AtkinsonSet you die down to a bump, you should feel the crimp taking place. If you go to far you will create a bulge in the neck and it won't feed, so back off..You just need a tiny bit of a crimp, if at all..I would not crimp unless I absolutely needed it, and you shouldn't need t crimp your 350..
No crimp; if you belled the mouth, just make it straight again. You need the mouth for the case to stop on.
