Before we tie up the loose ends and to keep the lawyers happy:

DISCLAIMER: For reloading information: WARNING: Reloading can be dangerous if you have not been properly schooled in how to reload ammunition. The loads shown are for informational purposes only.  They are only safe in the rifle shown and may not be safe in yours. Dangerous chamber pressures can occur resulting in serious injury, damage to rifle, or even death if proper reloading steps are not followed.  Consult appropriate load manuals prior to developing your own handloads.  Craigsoutdoorsports.com and its authors, do not assume any responsibility, directly or indirectly for the safety of the readers attempting to follow any instructions or perform any of the tasks shown, or the use or misuse of any information contained herein, on this website.

We have showed in the past 4 articles how to determine your load from a quality source i.e. bullet or powder companies reloading manuals.

We have shown how to prepare, prime, and insert your powder into the cartridge.

Now it’s time to seat your bullet. This is accomplished by setting the bullet on top of the primed case that you have just put powder in, and seating the bullet to a pre-determined depth. Some bullets will require a taper crimp, while others will need a roll crimp. And still some will not require a crimp. This will be determined by the type of ammo you are reloading.

Reloading dies will automatically come with the crimp style needed built in the bullet seating die. All die companies will have instructions on how to set your bullet seating die for depth of bullet and amount of crimp. Please refer to you die companies instructions for this.

Have fun and keep your powder dry!
