I do not have a LNL but here is a website that might help you out   http://www.gggreloader.com/

Freedom Munitions has reman(once fired brass) for $0,184 per round.Your brass is free and it is still only $0.051 more   Just saying  But i do reload 38/357 and 44 mag on a Redding T7 turret 

It is very satisfying,but components are a bear to find ie pistol powder and primers. 

Hi John455 have you ever tried Lucky Gunner in Knoxville?? They are great and only ship to you. They have all the popular brands   http://www.luckygunner.com/handgun/357-magnum-ammo   I personally have used georgia arms, http://www.georgia-arms.com/   They will load you new or reman(reman is once shot cases otherwise all new components) cartridges by box or bulk.   I am trying a new company from Idaho called Freedom Munitions. http://www.freedommunitions.com/#&panel1-1   They have a very good track record,but they are out of 357, They have shipping specials,like recently $0.00 for new customers or $5.00 and NO tax   These third party reloaders are almost as cheap as reloading

No ,I do not, just use the hornady roll crimp for cannelures, but that is just me..Taper crimps are actually made for auto pistols or bullets like Berrys without cannalure.   You will eventually develop a style that you will like over other crimping styles and this comes with time. Cannelure bullets are somtimes difficult when the cases are not all   trimmed to a specific length.   Sorry about the link. I am a member there as well. I joined just too see the pix   http://www.thehighroad.org/archive/index.php/t-469815.html

You are absolutely right. i have since bought a Redding taper crimp and it is excellent. Makes beautiful crimps

Yep 7000 grains to a lb of powder I use Blue Dot for 38/357 But here is a warning from Alliant website   Quote:   SAFETY NOTICE At Alliant Powder, we take safety seriously. That’s why we periodically test our products in different situations to be sure our use recommendations stay current. Check here for any safety notes or recall information. Stay safe and keep accurate. Alliant Powder periodically reviews and tests their published reloading data to verify that our recommended recipes have not changed over time. During the latest review Alliant Powder discovered that Alliant Powder's Blue Dot® should not be used in the following applications: Blue Dot® should NOT be used in the 357 Magnum load using the 125 grain projectile (Blue Dot® recipes with heavier bullet weights as specified in Alliant Powders Reloading Guide are acceptable for use). Blue Dot® should NOT be used in the 41 Magnum cartridge (all bullet weights). Use of Blue Dot® in the above cases may cause a high pressure situation that could cause property damage and serious personal injury. We apologize for any inconvenience that this may cause and appreciate your understanding and cooperation in this matter.

Hi, It is more than a slight overcrimp.They are extremely overcrimped I have the Berrys in 158 gr ,357 shooting through a 686 S&w cal and went through the same growing  pains as you. You only need to crimp to hold the bullet from falling out of the case(from recoil).   First i only bell the the case just enough to start the bullet and when i seat the bullet the pressure is enough not to crimp(i know people that do not crimp) and if they fit through a case gage or you can use you barrel as a substitute they are ready Like stated above if you can take the dummy cartridge and push it against the loading table and the bullet does not move you have enough crimp.   Secondly i do crimp and when i set up the seating height i only add a 1/8 - 14 turn for the crimp at most (I have Hornady dies and they do seating and crimping at the same station)   They Lee factory crimp dies should be a piece of cake.When you crimp try crimping dummy bullets at 1/8 turn 1/4 turn 1/2 turn until you go 360 degrees as examples and you can see the progress of the operation.Use the one that does not move and fits your barrel   I load on Redding big boss and their T-7 press    Good luck
