| I plan on loading with a lee load all except for crimping. I will roll crimp. Any pet loads or tips would be appreciated. Thanks |

| if your interested, you can fold crimp shorts on a Lee Load All by using a .25" thick spacer at the crimp starter and at the final crimp. then you can reload the hull with less fuss once you have used the first loading. |

If you roll crimp you can use most any 2 3/4 load as you are only cutting off the fold crimp portion of the hull. If you fold crimp wad selection is more critical as your stack will be 1/4"+ shorter.
