Shot some Barnes and Lehigh defense .45 in my Trail Gun .45Colt today. Both shot real good with AA9 but found the rounds were backing out with what I thought was a real tight crimp using my Hornady dies. Anyone have any experience with these Lead Free commifornia required loads? No problems with other bullets such as the Hornady and Sierra normal people get to shoot stuff! Heard I might need to go with a heavy roll crimp. Going to shoot some 455GNR in my Howdah revolver tomorrow with both the Barnes and Lehigh but may need to run them through the crimp die a little bit deeper. Help?
