Thanks, and you bet! Chased these loads around for about 4 weeks trying all sorts of things. Now this gun performs just as I expected it to and is a blast to shoot.. Now kind of wish I was 20 years younger with eye more focused and hands that didn't shake as much.

Robert,
Yes, the taper crimp is used to remove the flare and help prevent the bullet from being shoved further in the case during chambering, but the internal taper in the die which allows for a varying amount of crimp by varying how far up in the die the round goes, will apply a decreasing amount of crimp below the case mouth. This is good because .452" lead bullets in some brands of brass (PMC for one) will show a bulge where the bullet is, and the taper will allow for better feeding. I normally taper crimp lead bullets to .469". Don
