Thread: .44 Mag Crimping

Hi Guys

So I'm reloading .44 mag for the first time - and crimping for the first time as this is the first pistol round I've reloaded. It seemed to go pretty smoothly but when crimping I got a very fine shaving of brass coming off the edge of the case, hair thin - as you can see in the picture. I backed off the die but couldn't find a way to stop it happening. Is this common? Is it a problem? Really not sure. I can easily just wipe the offending piece away with a thumb. Which is what I've done.

Also, just in general, does the crimp look ok?

Cheers

PS .44 mag Bergara single shot with a red dot is a lot of fun!
