Yes; in fact, if you look at the last pic, the crimp is a bit
too pronounced...but I did these three just for S&G...I'll adjust my crimp later, when I start running batches through...

...5.0 grs...
I think it was Hugh's data I was looking at and 7.5grs was suggested...I wanted to go low for starters, but 6.0grs looked like it might be a compressed load, so I backed off a grain...Both gun shops were closed yesterday [New Years] and today, I couldn't get any other powder and Blue Dot is all I had left here...
I'll fire these three off today or tomorrow...I was going to try a water shot too, and recover the bullet to see what it looked like...
