What is the difference in using a Dillon taper crimp die as opposed to a Lee precision *factory crimp* die? For less than $20 shipped to my door is it something worth considering?
I reloaded about 200 rounds using the Dillon taper die and ran them through my MP40 at a local USPSA match Sunday without any feeding problems at all. I adjusted the Dillon die per the instructions and have a decent crimp when compared by eye to a factory round. The crimp is not an exaggerated bevel but rather a nice edge to the bullet.
Is there a specific crimp measurement that I should be looking for in thousandths?
I'm using a 180 gr Berry flat point bullet (40 cal), OAL of 1.125.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
