375 H&H

[Alaskaman11]

Ok first real time reloading a belted cart, how do I set the crimp, it seems like all I'm doing is crushing the shoulder. I'm using a RCBS FL die. Bullet length is ok, just I can't crimp the bullet in place. Please help.

Re: 375 H&H

I would advise you to get a Lee Factory Crimp Die. I use one with my 375 H&H Magnum loads and it works great with no case crushing.

I've been shooting & reloading for my Model 70, in 375 H&H since 1974. I have never had the need to crimp the bullets. I've never had any movement of the bullet under recoil either.

Re: 375 H&H

Agree...no crimp needed unless your neck tension is extremely low. If recoil tends to push the bullet back in the case, then the Lee is the answer. JMHO

Same here Alaskaman, I use 235gr and 300gr Barnes X and don't crimp. I've never had an issue.

I primarily use Nosler 300 partitions, and never found a need to crimp.

No crimp for mine either. I use a single shot rifle though. Mine have plenty of neck tension without the crimp.

Re: 375 H&H

Have not needed to crimp as well. 235 gr to 300 gr even with some heavily compressed loads of IMR 4350.
