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...

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...
