With 200 SWCs, about a fingernail thickness of bullet shoulder exposed, TAPER crimp, with 4.5 grains of 231 for me. Has worked well for 25 years...but not in Glocks. For some reason SOME of them choke on SWCs. Lightly expand the case also. For super serious stuff I trim all the cases to an exact length and seat them on a single stage so the bullet exposure and OAL is EXACT. That's pretty rare though.
