NO, absolutely not. There is differences. The question of kind of like a neck sizing die? No, it does crimp. I want to describe it like a roll crimp, only it can crimp deeper and actually squeeze the bullet and deform it. Especially if it does not have a crimp groove or a cannelure. I can't post photos here, and the ammo I loaded is at home. I was there yesterday and now I am out of town again. I should be able to get this wound up soon and when I get back home I will PM you and then possibly get an email address and email you photos of this. They say a picture is worth a thousand words.
Maybe this will help. It may be a few days and may be a week.

Cherokeetracker.... how about posting for all to see? Yeah, the analogy to neck sizing does not fit. Silhouettes have used the profile crimp with success. The idea is to increase grip on the bullet. Bullet pull was not a problem in silhouette, wherein revolvers most often are shot FREE RECOIL, yet RECOIL must not be severe as to twitch nerves, an even which temporarily kills fine motor control.
The Rocks & Dynamite crowd restraints a circus, predictably falling short of the winners circle, as silhouette is a stamina game. David Bradshaw

David, I would be glad to post here for all to see if I could. I would liked to have posted other photos also if I could. I will make arraignments for this to happen.

If anyone knows of a 500 Linebaugh die which will approximate the crimp produced by the Redding Profile die, please do let me know. Though it can be made to work, the results provided by the RCBS seat/crimp die are not especially impressive. Not a Profile Crimp (although I stopped using one, because like others I saw bullet deformation with heavy crimps and switched to the Lee) - with a little time I am sure the collet could be shortened to work with a 500L. *** Lee Collet Die ***

Custom tight throats on my .510 makes crimping big meplat cast a challenge ! Very ,if no belling to keep maximum neck tension. Then I found and use a .510 taper crimp die! No bullet jump, no bullet deformation . Let me stop pulling my hair out! Lol

My .45 Colt Redding PC die, which I've had for eight years or so, provides a very firm roll crimp, and doesn't cause any bullet deformation whatsoever. It doesn't even touch the brass below 0.085 from the mouth. The company literature states it produces a roll crimp. By my experience, it produces a quintessentially perfect roll crimp. I can't relate to the experience of those claiming theirs produces some sort of combination roll/taper crimp. Mine doesn't (unless we define that VERY short .050 or so transition into the roll as a "taper"). Perhaps it's a difference of bullet design, size, or hardness which accounts for the differing experiences(?). Regardless, mine doesn't change bullet dimensions one iota. And I wish I could replicate it in .500L.
