This seems like a good idea. Thinking I would use one for loading for my .404J.

Has anyone used used one? Thoughts?

Thanks,

I use them on everything, 270, 06, 338, 9.3 - whatever. I just make it the last step in reloading my ammo.

I too use them on everything. Some light crimp and some heavy as the need dictates. Easy to use, set and not sensitive to brass length like the crimp portion of your Bullet seater die.

I do use them sometimes.

I do not use any crimp on my own hunting ammo for my 375/404.

Lee taper crimp dies are nice in some calibers, regular crimp dies Lee or others are not needed for the most part, only in pistols for the most part..I never needed or used a crimp in my 404 Jefferys, I used a taper crimp in my double rifles at times..

Better than crimping, that btw over works your brass, use a powder that fills the case to abo8ut half way up the neck or more. drind the expander ball a thousands or two to tighten the neck, and your good to go.. if you must use a crimp use a taper crimp die very lightly, using this method your bullets won't slip back into the case..but with a tight neck and full case of powder you won't get bullet set back..

All in all I could do without a crimp in any rifle caliber.
