The only way I could get them to crimp without crushing was to start with a very very light crimp and slowly twist the die in while pressing multiple times for each brass. Any idea what I could be doing wrong?
Years ago I said crimping only requires a breath or hint of effort and rloaders claimed they were sooooo confused. I also said crimping can be a bad habit...because that is what Lyman said long before the Internet.

You could be expecting too much when crimping, I had to expect more than the crimping die would offer when my 45ACP reloads would not feed; for that problem I used a RCBS carbide die to remove the appearance of the case of having swallowed a bullet meaning the case had a bullet line
