So I have started reloading and I'm having a problem crimping my rifle cartridges.
The Hornady dies come with only two dies. The bullet Seating die also crimps. To my knowledge you set the bullet then back out and lower the die to crimp.
I have been having a problem though. The instructions say to raise the ram with the cartridge and thread the die until it touches. Then back out the cartridge and turn die one rotation. Problem is I do only a half turn and the cartridge has crushed down and isn't usable. What am I doing wrong?
Picture shows unusable 30-06.
Thanks
Bob
