I'm am tryng to educate myself about reloading, and I have a CZ-52, so I'm pretty interested in the 7.62 x 25 Tokorev.

The posts refer to the Lee dies and imply that the seater die also crimps. Do most seater dies also crimp?

Also, I'm not sure that I'd recognize a crimp if I saw one. In some rounds, I see a band of little marks around the part of the shell that holds the bullet. It looks like something has crimped the shell tightly around the bullet. Is that some specific kind of crimp, or is that what most crimping dies do?

Thanks,

Mike P. Wagner
