I have a Lyman and RCBS seater (45 ACP)and they both roll crimp. I had to buy an extra taper crimp die as well.

Yep, mine, too... (reply)

I use the same die set for the .45 AR.

Well, I'll be. (reply)

Never knew such an animal existed. Thank you!

My .45 ACP die set.... (reply)

...came with the seater die machined to produce a roll-crimp. I had to go out and buy a separate taper crimp die for my semi-auto .45 ACP loads.

Ho-kaaay... (reply)

I admit to having never tried but I thought the taper (or as shown on some 'net forums, "tapper") crimp wouldn't turn in the case mouth like that. I suppose a feller could cut down a Colt seater or mebee Schofield...

Same way as any other case.... (reply)

....screw the die down until you get the roll-crimp you like.

Them thangs would scare the daylights out of something just seein' 'em peekin' out of the cylinder.

I might heve to try that receipe with my 1917. Thanks!

I LIKE that! (reply)

VERY purposeful looking round there. I am going to have to look into that for my .45 revolvers. Please tell me, how do you manage a roll crimp on the ACP case?

The Keith 452423 SWC, roll-crimped in the crimp groove, 5.9 grains of Unique. Shoots to the sights, groups well, and looks downright cool.
