I've recently purchased a Henry X and have begun the loading process. I'm using new WW Brass, full length sized in Lee dies (40 years old). Things were progressing smoothly until the seating operation. There was some variation in neck tension on Speer Gold Dot 454 Casull bullets, measuring .451. The inside diameter of the sized cases were a consistent .445, which should provide enough bullet pull to have low extreme spread.
I'm having a devil of a time getting the seat/crimp die set properly because I've only loaded the RCBS SAA from the 45 Colt. I've never loaded revolver cartridges in a rifle, so here's the question - It is necessary to crimp and still get good results?
