I've been reloading since 1980 but this is my first experience with the Jet, here is the question:
On the box of factory ammo I have 'Remington 40g soft points' the AOL is 1.640", the Sierra 40g I am using, even at an OAL of 1.635 still do not have a 1 caliber seating depth in the case, also the factory rounds have a crimp groove, the Sierra's do not, nor do the Hornady bullets. Hornady's are .222 and Sierra's are .223. Does this round not require a 1 caliber depth to seat as is the SOP with rifle loads? Also is it neccesary to crimp this bullet to avoid pull out?
I may be comparing apples to oranges, pistol vs. rifle rules but want to be sure. If I I use the crimp shoulder in the die I'm afraid I'll collapse the shoulder, I don't think it would be possible to use my .223 taper crimp die as the case would not fit into it.
What are your thoughts on this?
