Has anyone had any luck finding something similar to the Lee crimp die for 500 NE? I am using a set of Hornady dies and I am not overly impressed with the roll crimp. What have you all found is the best way to crimp? Thanks in advance!
 
I had lee custom make their Factory Crimp Die of my 500 Sharps. The Sharps is .5" shorter but otherwise quite similar to a 500 NE so I suspect they could do it. They did balk at doing it but eventually capitulated; never hurts to ask.
 
I don't have a 500 but do have a 470 ne. I use the RCBS dies or sometimes the Redding die to crimp after the bullet has been seated as an extra step never together. Works for me.

I will be looking for a set of these when my .505 is done... sadly not cashed up right now for these. :(
Need anything in trade?
Cheers,

what kind of velocity does the 140 grains list, curious how they would fit in with my current 130 gr, supply of 270s. maybe a pic of the box data listing vel. and drop. Oh and complements on that ammo belt, nice.
