I am new to reloading and just setup my Hornady Lock and Load AP. I am reloading .480 Ruger and have all the dies set correctly except the taper crimp die. It is a 4 die set for the .480 but there were no instructions on how to properly setup the taper crimp. How do I set it up and is it absolutely necessary to taper crimp after the bullet has been seated?
