If you trim to 1.4" the dies will crimp.

I bought 1000 cases from Keith Davis and they are all trimmed to 1.355 - so my cases not crimping and I panic-ed.

Simple fix is to file/grind down a case holder by 0.045" to compensate. It is definitely way cheaper than having to re made a new batch of cases (and dump the short ones) or wasting money on different sets of dies.

After all, this are the fun part of having wildcat caliber.. you improvise
