I dont have anything unseated that ive rant thru -my- die, but measuring a new factory sized case .325 and one of my loaded cases .3275" Im probably good. It will be interesting to see what my die is getting. I think based on this thread I will test no crimps or a very very super light crimp because I dont like the idea of a heavy crimp for my own consistency reasons as I havent figured out a way to repeat the exact amount each loading session. (hence this post).Measure the OD of the neck of the sized case. Then measure the OD of the neck after the bullet has been seated. The difference is your neck tension. .0025" - .003" is usually plenty to hold a bullet firmly in place.
