Pizzim Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Silly question, Ive been thinking about picking one of these up to be able to quickly adjust between glock 40s&w and 1911 40s&w. I was about to place an order when the thought struck me ..... if im adjusting the OAL will i not also need to adjust my crimp for the new OAL?

yoshidaex Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 You're not actually "crimping" but getting rid of the bell. If you pull a bullet you "crimped" it should have a very minimal impression of where you "crimped". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Intel6 Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Not really, especially if you are crimping in a seperate operation. Neal in AZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lcs Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Yes you will. Anytime you change OAL---U re-adjust the crimp. I run Redding on 9 and 40. I also use a Lee Factory Crimp die. FCD is very easy to adjust the crimp if you change the OAL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.Hayden Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 I don't.. maybe wrong, but the case mouth location didn't change, and that's what I adjust any crimping to anyways Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Desmo412 Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 I use about 6 different bullets in 9x19 loads at all different OALs...I have never touched my taper crimp die. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JACKIE40X40 Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 If I understand your question? If you get the mic type seating die and record the number for each? It won't work! You have too recheck o a l Every time, it will wont be perfect.You will have to tweek it.I have used the redding com dies for many years. As is the redding com powder thrower. The only advantage is it gives you a starting point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaxshooter Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 I run Redding Competition Seating Dies on every caliber I load. They center the bullet as it is going into the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cuzinvinny Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 I have been considering a competition seating die for a while. Now that components are hit and miss, it might be a good time to get off my butt. A few years back, I purchased the micrometer assembly for my powder measure, and have never looked back.

FCD is very easy to adjust the crimp if you change the OAL. No you don't need to adjust if you run standard taper crimp dies. YOU do because your running a LEE FCD which re-sizes the bullet and the case with it's carbide ring. Edited April 2, 2013 by Boxerglocker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
