You might seriously check the crimp depth and make sure that it is 1/16th of an inch and really no more. I would simply drop the powder charge by 3 grains and retest if you are that worried about it. ... |

Don't use anti freeze. Just use the cheap Dollar General or Family Dollar liquid fabric softener. Not the concentrate stuff.
Works great. |

What is the proper depth for a roll crimp? About 1/4 inch?
Also, does anybody have an idea on what type of wax they used for the traditional wads?
Thanks,
Rob. |

Powder migration will not be an issue with 800X or A Steel which are large flake type powders. Stay away from Ball powders like Longshot unless you use an over powder wad to stop the migration. |
