around that. The trick is to crimp it a bit and see if it will go in the chamber. If it does then crimp it a bit more. Do this until you feel it rubbing nard on the inside walls of the chamber and it is hard to go all the way in. Then back off to your crimp before that and then lock the die down. I have loaded literally thousands of 429 GNR ammo and once I found the sweet spot for the crimp I have never had a problem. I took it as one of my main cartridges for my recent lion hunt. I sure wouldn't take a cartridge that I don't trust for a hunt of that type.
But all of my short neck cartridges will have that problem if you don't do a good crimp on the case.
