Hi, My first post here.. Just picked up reloading and started out on my .44 mag's I picked up some Accurate No.7 powder alcong with cci primers and some cheap 240g swc bullets. Now reading as much as I could through the manuals and a little online I loaded 100 of them this past weekend with 15.8 grain loads. Now being new to this I am asking is this ok? as I have not fired any yet.... also DO I CRIMP as well or just leave as is with no crimp after seating? I am going to start reloading my 357's as well with the #7 and swc bullets this weekend as well. Thanks for any information on this Jeff.
