case by case

Fact = a case is good one time, then it's no longer as good.

Case life in revolver cartridges is long, unless ham-handed techniques get used.

The Lyman 'M' flare die is the best inexpensive least mouth-working die.

The Redding die is one well-proven performer.

So's the LEE, but not (nearly) as good for revolver cartridges.
Mandatory IMNSHO for auto cartridges, though.

"Crimp" is not the same as 'case neck tension'; the two are not interchangeable. They do different jobs........

Where you at? Maybe someone can drive over and take a look, maybe help you.



Just looked, got over eight Redding Profile Crimp dies, three for 44, two each for 41 and 45 Colt, and at least three in 357; actually I don't know how many I own....
