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. ...

No, I think he's remarking on the NYS requirement barring sales of ammo without an FFL background check, and effectively barring ship-to-home of ammo. Whether that law applies to prim ...

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.

Again, thanks for the information.
