How do you know whether you have too much taper crimp? I was just getting ready to do some reloading after having maximized the crimp on my RCBS die, but now you have me worried.
I just bought a Hornady die set (.38 spl/.357 magnum/.357 maximum) that is supposed to be roll crimp, but before any roll appears the case crushes so I am beginning to suspect that they accidentally packaged in a taper die instead. This is very surprising as I did not think Hornady made a .38 cal taper die. (How DO you tell the difference between taper and roll die?)
If I back off to where the case does not crush the bullet loads solid enough that you can put the bullet against the wall and shove on the round without moving the bullet. Hangs in like stink in the inertia bullet puller, too.
You gentlemen say you use the taper for .357 magnum? How do you determine it is heavy enough for something like 2400?
