In the past I used a couple Profile crimp dies by Redding for handgun cartridges. I finally stopped as I found they sometimes caused problems with bullets over the industry standard for a cartridge.
The 45 Colt crimp die has found a new use. It sizes the case, yes it is that snug, far enough down the case to remove the bulge left by the Marlin on new Starline cases. These cases won’t enter the chambers of the Mod 25 and that is a problem. Enter the Profile crimp die. Run an empty case into the die and it will now enter the chambers on the revolver.
And here I was expecting to have a die to make.
