Thread: Trouble with seating die

@Toby your lee seating die does not have a crimper built in as they normally supply a crimp die as a separate process from seating, your lyman die and same for RCBS, Redding and hornady have the crimpers included in the seating die. As VC said stick an empty case into the press fully raise the ram and screw the die down with seater fully screwed out till it contacts case neck and screw back half a turn then set the die to your desired seating depth, your 8x57 will not require crimping anyway with it being a bolt action. Semis, lever actions and pistol rounds require crimping.
