Hey Gang,
I'm more of a neck sizing long range kind of reloader, and proper crimping for autoloaders is new to me. I had to pull some loaded 95gr SSTs today, and the amount of distress on the bullet was surprising. (See below) I'm using the lee factory crimp die. Is this normal, or am I crushing it way too hard? FYI These bent up bullets are shooting around 1MOA over 30.6gr of H335, so it can't be THAT awful. Any information or advice would be welcomed.
