I got my M1 carbine die and started crimping the cartridges I loaded already. I didn't see a large crimp band. If what I saw was the crimp band it was only a milimeter thick. I trim cases to 1.34" is this why or am I doing something wrong?
I tighten the crimp die to the shell holder and then about 3/4 of a turn or so more. Seems to work fine.
