Ok I just finished my first batch of s&w 500 bullets. This is my first revolver bullet that I've loaded. I was told that I dont need the factory crimp die for revolver rounds so I bought just the three die set (deprimer, fluter and bullet seating). Anyway after i got them all seated I went to load some in my 500 revolver and the brass wont fit in the cylinder. Any thoughts or do I need to buy a crimp die? I should also mention these are cast lead bullets and at .502.
