Im also trying to get started with this caliber and need to know how to crimp the heel type bullets. 0 -
When I used to reload .44 americans, I used a pair of electricians crimpers that I had drilled a proper sized hole. Worked fairly well. But, I think you can get a Lee factory crimp die designed specificaly for the .41 Colt. I read this in a Mike Venturino article I believe. You might want to give Lee a call.WOODS 0 -
Hello, Redding makes the reloading die sets and Rapine makes an inside-lubed bullet mould of the correct size. See www.buffaloarms.com I have an original, old RCBS die set that I would sell, but it would be more expensive than the new Redding dies. Emery 0
