I recently bought some copper plated bullets from Ranier, that specifically state on the packaging 45 Long Colt 250 grain. What confuses me is that every other bullet I've ever loaded for this caliber has had a cannelure groove that I've set up my Pro-2000 to crimp into. Should I just set my press up to taper crimp instead of roll crimping as I usually do?
Also would be interested in how closely I should be watching my case lengths when loading the 45 Colt. I haven't used a trimmer for my other pistol loading in the past, i.e. 45 ACP, 9mm, 40 S&W, so I have no experience in this area.
