Crimping questions??
I am not new to reloading, but new to reloading straight wall pistol cartridges. I am getting ready to start loading my 40 s&w and am not sure how you measure the crimp??? I am measuing new ammunition and am coming up with .417 -.419 from mid-way on the case to the crimped end??? So I am trying to duplicate that with my reloaded cartridges....Is this the correct way to do this????? I haven't been able to get to those sizes yet because my lee crimp die doesn't work out quite right on my L-N-L press but we ground it down today at work so I'll be trying again this evening.
