Freedom, how are you crimping, rolling in the mouth of the 45acp case ? I was thinking the same thing, but I was struck with redneck ingenuity. My 45ACP dies are tapper, that's not going to work for this application. Then I remembered I have a hand grommet kick with a metal base that is used to roll the grommets, well, throw the case on that, give it a few taps with the hammer, roll crimp! In this case it works since he's crimping prior to adding the pellets/glue; I assume it would work post glue too since it's glued in.

I just use the standard ACP die for my recent testing. Bottomed out against the ram. It didn't give much roll to the case mouths... but I didn't figure needed much as long as it didn't hang up in the forcing cone on the way out.. LOL
The first picture I posted shows the mouths of the case really rolled because I rammed them into a lee powder-through-expander-die that had been put into the Press upside down. The little funnel leading into the powder through expander die is made of aluminum so it was pretty tough on it.
The Grommet Anvil trick sounds like heck of an idea!!
