I don't know much about other die makers, but I will certainly investigate them. The Sportsmans Warehouse here sells rcbs and hornady dies, but I have never looked for just a crimp die. I would like to find a roll crimp die for 44 and 45 colt and maybe 357.

I don't know how much its swaging the lead down, but it definately takes a good deal of effort to move bullet thru the post sizing ring. I noticed my 44 mag 240 gr lswc with 9.0 gr of hp-38 which should be around 1000 fps was leading badly and it shouldn't be at that velocity with 18 bhn bullet. But I may be wrong, regardless, I am going to try a few without being post sized and eliminate that from my causes.
