IIRC the crimp die stays (has a carbide resizing insert as well), just back the adjustment screw out. Expander and bullet seating dies are the only ones that need to be backed out.

The local Bi-Mart just reduced the AE 10mm 180gr 50ct boxes to $30 (from $37.) Even w/ the rebate I'm not buying. :P I can get S&B 180gr for $15 at my LGS...

Thx ;D

FWIIW, a picture. Case head expansion is .0020" (no reference data yet, sorry. Keep in mind it was fired in a SIG. YMMV)

Edit: forgot -- the crud around the primer is sealer. Ammo is destined to be lugged around in the woods...

A quick heads up -- I loaded a few over 11gn of Longshot, worked well for me :) Casings seemed fine, I'll try to take a pic tonight.

Edit: Used new *- casings.
