Re: Getting ready to start reloading 5.7x28mm ... A few ?'s

I crimp, using a modified Lee .223 "factory" crimping die. If you search for "crimping" you'll find a lot of threads where it is discussed, and people's various methods are covered.

I mostly reload 36 grain barnes varmint grenades and 40 grain hornady vmax, and crimp each.

its not like old school 5.56 with the black adhesive. they are glued in place. easiest way to pull themis to use a seater die to push the bullet a bid deeper in the case breaking the adhesive, thenuse a collet puller to retrieve the vmax.
