Campro 147 RNFP

[zoomage]

Hey guys,

I'm new to reloading and looking to reload using the 9mm Campro 147 RNFP. I don't see a Cannelure on the projectile, so I'm pretty sure I would be using a taper crimp, and not a roll crimp.

Correct?

Correct.

Furthermore, you really won't be crimping at all if you're loading 9mm. Just flatten out the flare put on the case mouth by the powder funnel/expander. The case mouth measurement of a completed round should be somewhere in the .377-.379 range.

Thanks much!

You never want to roll-crimp a case that headspaces off the case-mouth like 9mm (and most other rimless pistol cartridges). The chamber needs the edge of the case-mouth exposed so it can catch and the cartridge doesn't go too far into the chamber. You'll never find a cannalure on bullets meant for semi-auto pistol cartridges as a result.
