Default First bullet reload complete pic.

Hey there!

Just finished up my very first bullet reload. I think my settings for seating and crimp are ok. Just wanted a couple of you experienced guys to have a look and confirm. I am just not sure how much to crimp, right now i can feel no lip if i run my finger over the bullet to the case.
44 mag, 240gr FCPTC, 23gr H110, CCI350 primers.

I appreciate any tips/comments!

Looks good from the pics, check it in the chamber or a headspace gauge.

Good to hear. I'd love to check them in the gun but it is 100 miles away. I hope to God they work ok, if not, I guess I'll have a bullet sale!
Keep warm everyone!

Thanks man!

Only thing freaking me out is the crimp...not sure if its too much or too little. I can not see any deformities from over crimp, Ive even measured with calipers to make sure there was no bulge. I guess I'll keep on keepin on!
