How deep is your stab crimp in the cannelure?

Go slow!

Yes slow. I don't want to push the max just lean on it a bit. I am at 2314 FPS now at 39.5 gr.
I am at 40.5 for this weekend.
What are your grain steps when getting to this point?

Don't get to set on that bottom cannelure. I bought another box from Cabela's today. This box of 200 FTX bullets only has one cannelure. I contacted Hornady and they used the bottom cannelure to hold the bullet to put the top cannelure on. Hornady has changed their manufacturing process and no longer have two cannelures on the 200 FTX. I did not ask but I suppose it will be the same for the 225 FTX as well.
Somebody always gotta burst somebody else's bubble.
