Talking LEE Factory crimp Die works

I went to the range for an hour...indoor range this afternoon....Had some 9mm rounds that must have buldged when I seated the home cast bullet....not visibly noticable but would not seat/chamber....was about too toss out 300 rounds but ordered the factory crimp die to "post size them"...they all worked Also loaded some ammo up useing the Lee bullet sizer (.358 since I shoot 357 mag as well)...and factory crimp die....worked great the LEE TL bullets are appearently way over sized from the mold.

I dont use the seating die for a crimp just because of the bulge it can cause.
The crimping die is great. I'm going to try to use it to reload some pulled bullets from some 8mm Turkish crap. They were VERY heavily crimped when they were made. I'm hoping that I can set the crimp die to hold them tight in the case mouth and have it crimp in the same place as original. Just hate to throw away all those perfectly good bullets!
