Reloading question Help

[bow777]

I recently reloaded some 50 rounds of 357 magnum with 6 grains HP-38 and 158gr lead bullet. I noticed after the fact, that the final crimp wasn't to my satisfaction so I ran the WHOLE rounds thru the sizer to remove the crimp which it did.
Is it perfectly safe to do this or did this create a hazardous situation in any way?

Thanks for your comments

You ran a finished loaded round through the sizer die?

You ran a finished loaded round through the sizer die?

I wanna see that center stem

They do make she's that won't give you the factory crimp.

How in the world would a sizing die make your roll crimp better? I'm assuming you are loading for a revolver or lever action and not a single shot or semi auto handgun.

Is 6 grains not over the max on that powder? If not it is close. I have ran 9mm back through the sizer die after loading (with the primer punch removed) to improve feeding on a lot I was having trouble with, what you did will improve friction hold on the bullet but not improve the crimp. If the powder charge is determined safe I would think they would be ok. Re-check your load manual before trying these.

If you run a finished round back thru the sizing die it will size the bullet down too small. Not good idea. Not dangerous probably, but won't shoot worth a toot. Wallacem

This doesn't make sense to me

You are likely to have a leading problem with those rounds due to undersized bullets,

Never tried it but I bet it took some pressure to get them thru the sizing die. Wallacem
