Crimp with coated bullets
I read here about crimp to .469 or .463 etc.
I was loading some missouri 200 SWC and I usually pull a bullet and look for a
breech in the coating. Like a ring into the lead. If its there, I back off on the crimp.
Getting .469-471 is about as far as I can go.
This is the same test recommended for plated bullets. I do not use plated bullets.
What are others crimping coated bullets to?
Have you pulled a bullet to see?

I use Bayous hi-tek coated bullets for my 45 and crimp to .464-.465. With my pistol they seem to run better with that much crimp.
