I started loading for a 44 I just bought. I liked the lee crimp die so much I thought I would try a redding out. I'm not a pro at roll crimp but I don't know about this hybrid stuff.
Anybody with experience feel free to weigh in.

I use the profile crimp for my 44Mag, and it provides a very nice crimp indeed, just dont over do it, or over crimp in this case. Here's how it should look.

Just out of curiosity if you liked the Lee FCD, why did you feel like spending money on the Redding?

Just wondering as unless someone's a Magazine Writer or "Blogger" and is writing reviews, once they find something that works great they usually just leave the money in their pocket?

Just curious.

Oh and ill spend my money where ever the hell I want.
 
Re: Redding profile crimp die

Ya I'm on the right track. Mine is a little different because the crime grove is different on the 240 swc I'm loading.
