Just came in the mail today. I purchased one because I hardly see them for 380.
I have a Lee turret(3 stage) and Lee single stage. I have yet to buy a 380 factory crimp die. This cool little kit comes with a crimp. You have to use a plastic hammer and I think tap on it until crimped. I'm not too sure. Can you over crimp with the crimp from this kit? Can the round get stuck? I KNOW it will take time but that's all I have.
Since I'm lacking the FC Die could I use this crimp from the kit?? I have a set of lee 380 dies. It states that they crimp slightly I think.
TO CRIMP OR NOT TO CRIMP(been asked like a million times on the net)? I have read a bunch but no definite conclusion yet. I lean towards yes but is it necessary with lead?
What are your thoughts? They should make more of these kits for people on budgets or on the move and need to reload. I know they have lee classic loaders but not in 380 anymore. Plus this one comes with a hand priming tool and crimp. Anyone own this exact kit? I plan on using it from time to time just to pass the time.... Thanks
