I load the Berry's plated 158gr truncated .358" bullets for my 6" Desert Eagle. I push them to over 1600fps, with a healthy roll crimp, using jacketed bullet data.

Gewehr98,
When you say "healthy roll crimp" does that mean a slighty indented ring can be seen if you remove a crimped bullet before firing? When I say slightly, I mean it looks like a soft canelure, with no disturbance of the plating visible. And the loaded round shows no obvious indentation of the bullet.

I ask because I use Berry's plated and I'm roll crimping the way I describe. I'm only in my second year of loading, and I would like to learn if this is a proper roll crimp, or too tight?

My loads are .38 spl at velocities well under 1000 fps.
