I have had continual trouble with what I was term "crimp integrity" with my .44 WCF reloads. I have a LEE FCD. I have tried the old school crimping as well. I have tried a mixture of both. I old school crimp it, and then I recrimp everything with the lee die. I have crimped hard.
I am at the stage where I can cycle a full magazine of say ten rounds through my Rossi 92, and the will all stay put. But if I run them all through twice, I will get one or two bullets that may pop back in the case, and four or five more that have obviously set back a bit, and will fail if I run them through the rifle again.
I get much the same result if I just load five or six in the mag. on the second time round I have half of them showing signs of setting back and the crimp failing. I mean this is okay if I am just going to load and shoot them in one go, but if I am out hunting I have to be able to unload the rifle each day, and use them again. This is very frustrating to me. I have a pretty little rifle, with an otherwise great HV load that will shoot five rounds into a two inch group at 100 yards, and this is a little 20' carbine. But now I don't hardly use the rifle very much because of this problem.
I have wondered if maybe I shouldn't flare the case mouth so much. But then I have a hard trouble starting jacketed bullets so that they get seated straight, without bulging out the side of the case unevenly. At the moment I am just not using the rifle because of this. I can beat it by loading with blackpowder, I can beat it if I load with lead bullets, but its such a good load...
Why can't I do this? What am I doing wrong?
