[40 S&W Load data for 200s]

Thank you I do appreciate the advice. I am thinking i may have flared the mouth to much and the bullets are real slick. I can actually push the bullet in almost by hand. It is when I first start coming out of the crimping die it seems to hang on the bullet and pull it back part of the way out. Then I have been reseating them again to the proper length and re crimping. It seems to work of course I have not shot them yet.

Check your sizing die first, is it holding the bullet tightly without an crimp (i.e. after it's seated.

Push it against your bench hard and remeasure it to make sure the bullet is not being pushed into the case.

Then follow the directions on the Lee FCD and just straighten the bell out or maybe .001 crimp.

 

I've shot literally 10's of thousands of Bayou 200gr RN with this set up.

I am new to reloading. I was given a lot of 200 grain 40 S&W ACME bullets for Christmas. I have been having trouble trying to crimp these bullets with a Lee factory crimp die.

The bullets are so slippery they come out some when I try and crimp. I am having to reseat them twice and re crimp. Anybody have any suggestions.
