Thread: Roll crimping 308 subs

Hey guys,

I finally got all my parts to try out some subs in the 308. Done all my research and pretty sure I have it sorted except the roll crimping bit so am I on the right track here?

I have a RCBS seating die that by all research and looking down the hole is capable of roll crimping. If I load and seat my projectiles as per normal then remove the seating stem I can then run it back through the seating die to achieve a roll crimp?

Projectiles are the 151gr casts and will seat down to the groove.

Understand I will need to have a play first to determine the correct height and there for amount of crimp and all brass will need to trimmed to correct length.

Any guidance or input much appreciated.
