Thread: Roll crimping 308 subs

For seating the bullets, you put a case in the press, wind down the die until you feel it touch the case mouth, then back off a little.
Then seat all your bullets to the cannelure.
Then wind down the die a bit and back off the seating stem (I occasionally forget this bit!), then run all the rounds through the die again to crimp.

Yep this is my plan. Will have a play and see what happens.
