Default RE: 45-70 Suggestions

I went ahead and for simplicity seperated the seating and crimping. I seated all the bullets down to the last ring behind the bullet. On the first crimp something went wrong and the case really buldged bad. I can basically see the bullet through the brass. Is that a throw away? Was it the die being to far down that caused this or was it the seating screw?

Also in order to get the rest of them crimped I backed off on the die and the seating screw. Question: Does the seating screw even need to be in the die for the crimp?

Thanks

Tom
