Crimping .223

[DavieK]

I would like to reload .223 cases in a 69 and 80 grain Nosler bullets for a semi auto, however these bullets have no cannelure for crimping, I have heard of a factory crimp die for roll crimp,where can I locate one of these or is there a different way to hold them together in a semi auto ?:

Roll crimp and factory crimp are 2 different things. Try mysticplayer. Ask for a lee .223 factory crimp die. He should be able to hook you up.

You can NOT crimp if they do not have a cannelure.

Yes you can. Check out the Lee Factory Crimp die.

I have loaded approximately sixty thousand rounds for rifles and have never crimped anything and have never had trouble. But if you want to roll crimp you just have to ajust your seating die.

I stand corrected with this one die you can.
