    I always use a mild to med taper crimp on my 9mm. 1/2 turn on my Lee crimp die, and a little less on my Hornady. It also depends on the bullet, I tend to crimp more on plated and less on FMJ.

    I agree with Ed, I don't crimp very much at all. I am using the Lee FCD too. I am only worried about preventing setback, so it doesn't take much. Ed have you seen issues with plated bullets coming loose? I have loaded 1000+ rounds of the Ranier plated from Midway and I haven't had any issues. I am curious.
    Don't retreat! Reload!!!

    No "special" reason why I crimp more on plated, I just find the plated to be softer and I feel more confident that they'll stay put with a little more crimp. I only crimp LSWC in .38 or .357 mag anywhere near "hard" and thats just to crimp into the groove.

    I too just use a light taper crimp using Hornady. I use Montana Gold's FMJ's. Not much crimp needed for jacketed.
