This is some good information about reloading .30 Luger. Do you use the crimp with the seating die, or do you crimp separately with a crimp die (like the Lee?) I have mixed brass, some Winchester, some Starline, some Fiocchi. They're not all the exact same length, so I have to set the crimp on the seating die to the longest case lest I crush the shorter ones. Yeah, I know, I SHOULD trim them all to the same length! I'm trying the Hornady .30 Mauser 86 grain round nose (soft point) with 5 grains of Unique.
