LeGendre Crimp reference collection
Posted: Tue Dec 04, 2012 3:40 pm
I've been looking through some of the old reloading threads to find information about using the LeGendre crimp, aka "stab crimp,""side crimp," etc. I noticed that a lot of the information has been spread out over the last couple years and several threads. I figured that since I found several good threads I would post links to the individual threads to help others with locating the information. If I missed any good threads feel free to add them below.
