Thank you Paul, now I set up my crimping station to achieve a slight recessed as close to factory crimp as possible. When switching to shorts I am slipping the short kit plate in and having at it (still getting a nice crimp). With pressure being a little more of a concern with these loads exactly where would I be measuring from start to finish to obtain this.055 to .060. I hate to sound stupid but I don't know where this measurement is being taken. And it sure looks like it makes a difference.

Thanks much.
