When in doubt, use a light crimp. Make a dummy round, then pull the bullet and check the jacket for excessive crimping. Reseat/crimp the dummy round. Then cycle it through your weapon a few times to check for setback.

Haha when you said, " a good caliper" I thought you were gonna show the Pittsburgh again lol. I like your bullets! 5 stars from a verifiable purchase. I have been using Berrys for three years now. I haven't runt into any problems. Thank you for a quality product at the right price. Bullets I am loading, 55gr. .224. 124gr. .355 and 225gr. .452.

those Pittsburgh ones are actually plenty accurate for most reloading applications Liz. I’ve compared them to a set of Mitutoyo digital calipers ($250) a friend had and for practical applications, there wasn’t enough of a difference to matter. You don’t need accuracy down to 1/1000th of an inch, we aren’t in a precision machine shop. For professional/serious long range shooting competitions, I could maybe see the utility for that top fraction of a percentage of shooters.

I had issues with your 158 gr RN ,357 bullets when using light loads. The bullet would not clear the barrel. Even when a hotter powder charge was used I would get squibs. I solved this issue by rolling a cannelure into the bullet and was able to employ a heavy roll crimp that delayed the movement of the bullet by several milliseconds so the powder charge would fully ignite and build up enough pressure to expel the bullet out of the barrel. That has been the only issue I have had with your revolver bullets.

Pittsburgh tools are really well made and surprisingly functional for their price range. It's like the difference between a 500 hundred dollar rifle and a 3000 dollar rifle they are both capable of sub MOA with careful prep.

@@blacklight6200 Hey there Blacklight, I'd found the same frustrations loading such early on. Nickel cased 357SIG brass is what I typically load with.... Im using LEE dies & a 357 SIG factory crimp & the LEE dies work just great, although with a caveat.... I DID initially have a problem with that tinee-ass 357 case mouth >to> shoulder depth holding the bullet tightly, as w/o enough real surface area it doesnt hold the bullet all that well-(poss set back increasing pressures)- Although it takes a bit longer, I ended up finding a solution, Ill sizing wax lube the case, then size/de-cap the case with the 357SIG LEE dies, then used my LEE 40 cal factory size die-(W/its de-capper pin removed)- for lower case walls, THEN used my 357 SIG LEE carbide sizing die again to properly size the shoulder/neck area... -Sure its extra steps in the process, but meh....It gave me peace of mind, as just using the LEE 357DSIG sizing dies alone wouldnt let me fully seat the prepped cased in my 357SIG Case Sizing/Chamber Gage-(A MUST HAVE with that particular round if re-loading. Wilson makes good ones.)-.. Id found that the LEE357 SIG case mouth expander die, even @ its lowest expansion setting STILL allowed the loaded bullet to fall into the case under slight pressure, so Id tried my LEE 9mm case belling die w/a bit mo' better success, it worked, but I STILL didnt quite trust it.... So I'd just taken a common sharpie pen & with light pressure just kinda barely wiggled -(in a circular/angled motion)- the non-writing end around the prepped 357SIG case mouth to provide a VERY SLIGHT belling of case mouth & it was enuff to seat the projos, w/o deforming the projo & case mouth when seating the bullet. -Making for a TIGHT fit-Youll have to experiment a bit n' make a few to get a "feel" & just how much circular rolling pressure to achieve the correct amount of case mouth "bell", as even a plastic sharpie pen end can open it up a tad too much. It does chew the plastic pen end up after a while though... -You could use other metal tools too to do the same job, just make sure its got a round end profile & diameter is just a tad larger than the 9mm 355. case mouth 357SIG is a tricky one to load thats for sure! But its certainly got SOME ASS>>>>behind it as to velocity! There are a few powders available where its powder size/volume allow one to load to the very bottom of the bullets base to better prevent boolet set-back under recoil. But Ive yet to load with em. My 357SIG berry bullets load data are on a can deep in my ammo lockers, but I did find one can up front for : Hornady 9mm 115grn XTP: Powder: HS-6 @ 9.0GR @ 1350 +/- (HS-6: 9.4 MAX load @1412 fps)- C.O.L: 1.135 Id still use the LEE 357 Factory Crimp die as last step in process, just for your own surety of mind. Go lightly as Berrys bullets plating is pretty thin & they deform easily. Nickel brass cases tend to last longer as to re-loading cycles if one is crimping them in the end too... Hope thats clear as mud?...;) Take care & be safe!

Check your targets at some close range for evidence of small plating pieces coming off. Also at regular distance bullets should group well and not have frequent flyers if your seater die shape allows seating without tipping the point to increase inflight wobble if you're not damaging the bullet.

Sounds like you have the seating die set to apply a heavier taper crimp than the factory crimp die. You could measure the diameter of the case mouth on the two different rounds to see if you wanted to.What cartridge is it? What is the diameter of the case mouths on the two different rounds using a caliper that has been zeroed out first? If you dont have one and ever buy one I suggest a dial caliper instead of digital ; but if yours is digital it should work ok for this test.

Keep in mind that the factory crimp die is not used to seat the bullet . The bullet should be already seated to the proper depth with your bullet seating die before using the factory crimp die.It's only made for crimping and taking out any bulges if you're using the carbide factory crimp die for handguns .Lee website has instructions on it.

@@44special9 ended up figuring it out. The seating die applies a roll crimp which holds the bullet without having to crimp very much but roll crimp is bad for 9mm or any any semi auto hand gun, ended up with 250/600 that can't seat correctly. I mean i can't imagine how a roll crimp is making the case sit several mm outside of max headspace but ya that's what happened. The factory die is definitely the way to go even though it's an extra step and takes some more effort to get the crimp done. It was fine after I adjusted the factory crimp die, had no issues with set back and they feed like factory ammo.
