Appears to be a bit out of adjustment. I use them on every caliber I load. They do work very well.

I think I need to explain, That's a HDY 158gn HP/XTP that was seated and crimped.....Then I tried to pull the bullet with an Impact puller. The jacket remained and core pulled out...

I shudder to think what the chamber pressure must be like when you light a fire under one of those crimped that tight.
