Yes on a little lubricant, also use your lightly oiled cloth against the crimping tool to both clean and to heat the tool up by way of friction. Keep the crimping tool warm to hot


I have discovered by trial and error which tools work with which plastic hulls better. I have BP, Lyman, Precision, antique brand x, and GEAP heads.

Also look at your trimmed length in relation to the load. Sometimes a little more or less plastic works better
