I just ordered the 260grs & 300grs. should have the 260s mid next week and the 300s in 2 weeks. These are heavy jacketed .452 BOAT TAILS! I spoke with Bob and he can put the crimp most anywhere you want, Just send him a dummy round.

Mine currently is very thin and fairly close to the case mouth, say about .125" Everything, everyone has done to date, has worked great, so if we were to standardize it we could get Lee to run us a batch???


My vote is for the center of the side crimp to be .125 below the case mouth too. That puts it in the second canalur, cannular, canelever, the groove, of the Barnes 200 and 275 gr. bullets and leaves you with a OAL of around 2.23".
