    Yep. Behind a boat! Redding came out with the dual -ring dies about 2 years ago. Great sizing die! Two different size carbide rings so your not mashing the whole length of the case down to just one size.

    Use a taper crimp die. Roll crimps are for revolvers ONLY! Measure the crimp at the case mouth...tricky, but once you get the hang of it....no problem. The case mouth should measure 0.471"- 0.472" Andy less and you will deform the bullet. If you are loading jacketed, pull a bullet after crimping. You should see a very faint ring where tie case mouth is contacting the bullet. That is all you need as neck tension will do most of the work in preventing bullets setback. And after you get that, your crimp will usually measure in the .0471-0.473 area. And yes, crimping in a separate step will make your loads more uniform. Get a Dillon crimp die! They last the longest and are easier to clean without changing adjustment! I have worn out the crimp sleeve in Lee Factory crimp dies...they done use a hard enough steel.
    There are no accidents; only ignorance, mechanical failure, and acts of God! I have loaded over 6 million rounds in the last 7 years and STILL have not seen it all!
