.45 dies?
Go ahead and get the roll crimp set and then get a seperate taper crimp die. Thats the ideal way to do it anyway.

New Hornady Press destroyed by UPS
You guys have obviously not seen what the back of UPS truck can look like. I can easily see how that would happen, especially with a big heavy box. If it had strapping around it they probably used it as a way to toss the box around. Stuff is thrown all the time. When I say all the time I mean it. I have a pic around here somewhere of the back of our UPS truck. Ill post it if I can find it.

What causes a bullet to tumble?
Over crimping as you just mentioned is also a culprit. His crimp doesn't seem too tight though. Unless he crimped it really hard and the brass sprung back out some while the bullet got crushed.

What causes a bullet to tumble?
The OAL probably isn't the issue. It's the low velocity from the light powder charge. If Heavyopp was correct and you are an entire half grain of powder short of the starting load then that is probably your problem. Load the proper powder charge and then you can adjust your OAL. OAL is a whole different topic we can get into. Lastly, I suggest a chrono ASAP. No reloader should be without one.

reloaded rounds do not fit in barrel - Help
You can adjust the crimp so that it doesnt crimp as heavily. It leaves you with the proper taper crimp. It doesn't work as well as a dedicated taper crimp die but it will pass muster. Back it off until it doesnt crimp at all. Then slightly adjust it down until it takes the flare out of the case. You just want it flat against the bullet. Now measure your bullets and then measure the thickness of the a case wall on your brass. Double the case wall measurement and add the bullet diameter number to that. That should be the measurement you get at the case mouth on a finished round. Measure a finished round. Does it match up? If yes good job. If not then you need to readust the crimp. 45 is a very forgiving caliber to reload. You don't need bulge busters or factory crimp dies. You don't need lock out dies but they are helpful. You just need to be able to look into each case to verify the powder charge is there. If I was you and I wanted to make ammo while I waited for a seperate crimp die I would get rid of the universal decapper and adjust your seater/crimp die better.

Gun shop that sold to mother of Newtown shooter loses license
They aren't even giving a reason why it was revoked. I wonder if they commited a real offense or this is just a witch hunt? I'm going to guess witch hunt but who knows anymore? http://news.yahoo.com/gun-shop-sold-mother-newtown-shooter-loses-license-212739308.html

Chris Christie says he's not much different then Andrew Cuomo
He is saying this to set us all up for him to cast his anti gun votes that are going to happen. Then he's going to call us all idiots for owning guns. Cuz that's how he talks about the people who he doesn't agree with.

L&H has 5.56 .40, .22
Stopped in L&H on Rt 35 in Wall. They have about 10 boxes of CCI Minimags at 8.99. They have CCI Stingers, not sure the price. They have American Eagle .22 boxes of 50 for 3.99 each. I'd say at least 50 boxes. They have some .40, not sure of the price. They have 10k rounds of Federal XM193. The only caveat is that is 19.99 a box. According to the owner he is buying this ammo from places like Cabelas so he has to charge a lot. He has a few AR's. He was selling a Smith and Wesson MP 15 Sport for 1899.99!!! He says his cost on the rifle is 1600. Not sure if it's true but who knows these days. I know it's not great but it's a heads up for anyone who might need stuff.

Ya never know.

Good question, I'm going to say they will. I always planned somewhere warm for the Zombie Invasion might have to change that up.
