Maybe I need to call Hornady (using Hornady roll crimp die), but you guys are so much easier to schedule time for.
I have gone on and on about West Coast Bullet 158 copper plated .38 spl bullets with the corrugated canalure and crushed cases with roll crimp.
Well, I decided to start from scratch and re-read instructions for setting the crimp. I set the bullet depth in several cases, backed off the bullet seating plunger and proceded to set crimp. Got a series of BEAUTIFUL roll crimps.
I then brought the bullet seating plunger back down per instructions and ran several cases through the whole cycle.
Crushed cases again. I can only suspect that the bullet is being pushed down after crimp has been applied. I backed off the crimp, but by the time I was no longer crushing cases my beautiful roll crimp was history.
The next step would be to go to separate seating and crimp dies, but they made the combination die for a reason and I expect it to work.
HELP!
