Good day,
I've started loading solid copper bullets for several calibers for hunting buddies. The bullets tend to include a cannelure, which can use a roll crimp, rather than a taper crimp. These are for hunting applications, not target use.
I don't wish to screw up the brass using a LEE factory crimp die, but I'm unable to find a roll crimp die for a standard roll crimp unless the seating die provides a roll crimp. Most rifle dies only provide a taper crimp.
Any suggestions for obtaining a roll crimper for a caliber which has a large body opening and a short throat which will perform the roll crimp? Such as one which will work for a 30-06 and 300 WM or 6mm Remington and .243 Win?
Thanks for the help,
