I tried on regular winchester brass which is slightly longer at 1.2857”. Dies were probably set up with this case years ago for hard cast medium loads.

Which leads me to believe that :
1)There is 0.002” less crimp
Yep, or close enough. The case isn't travelling as far into the case so the crimp is less aggressive.

I've never had consistent enough components to just "set it and forget it." I set the dies up every time.

Good catch.
