How many of you reloaders for 10mm are using a taper crimp die as a separate operation when reloading cast bullets.

I always crimp in a separate step for pistol. Even on my 550 that only has four stages I have seat and crimp in the last two stations. I visually inspect the powder.

On my 1050 which has more space I am able to also get a powder cop in there, but I still visually inspect with pistol.

I use separate steps

Any die MFG better than others?

I always crimp last.

Me too for cast, or jacketed, or plated, or coated.
