I'm pressing the balls into the case just very slightly further than 1/2 way, & adding just the slightest crimp...

honestly, I was going to load just one round 1st ( & prepared for a grenade ) but decided to do five, in case there was some ball ( bullet ) creep, but the light crimp, & light weight ball coupled with almost no recoil, I didn't have any issues in 30 rounds fired...

I thought about a custom dipper ( interestingly... the dipper that came with my Lee dies, was the biggest that Lee I'm sure offers... I think I could fit 3 or 4 - whole 32 S&W cases into the dipper...LOL )

I left my digi camera at work, so Monday I'll put up a pic of one of my guns, with a few loaded rounds... they look just like "shorter bullet" round ball ammo
