Reading though the discription of your problem, my suggestion to a much simpler, and cheaper option would be to buy a Lee crimp die.



Yep! I already have the Lee ultimate set with the factory crimp die. I never found the need to use it in the past. I've put a slight crimp on the loads I've loaded just to be sure. I also tested them for accuracy and their appears no change.

Sungazer has kindy offered to try the projectiles. So I'll get him some next week. I'm kind of hoping he experiences the same problems as me. But time will tell I guess.

I tend to agree with treken. Sometimes the simplest option is a good one to try. Use the crimp die on the speers... just very light crimp
