I am aware of factory problems, but they are due to undersized bullets. Sometimes these things mike at .353"-.354", depending on the lot, and set back during feeding. A .355"-.356" bullet, properly loaded, won't set back. And you don't need any fancy crimp dies.

I have not had any setback issues, but my loading technique is anally precise.
