Yeah Bob Its a ball lol ! Thanks for the suggestion.Trust me I'll take a good look before I buy a new die set.And you say you don't crimp for the AR's.I would think at least a light crimp just to keep the bullet in place for the ride from the mag to the chamber during firing?I would think that there would be a good chance of maybe the bullet getting pushed back into the case.I was told early on when I started to load for my 40 and 45 to make sure to put a fairly firm crimp to insure the bullet would stay put for the ride.But then what do I know.
