Does a crimp help reduce variation in bullet velocity ?

I've searched some of the old threads and found alot of info on neck tention but nothing on its effect on muzzle velocity. How much effect does verying neck tention have on velocity? I'm talking in general terms here and I'm only looking for a general answer. But for an example ,how much in...

Thanks Kevin. As you can see I'm new to the site here and I figured if anyone would or could give me a reasonable answer it would be here.I don't ever see much info about pressure other than what to look for and this was something I've woundered about

Clean is the only way to go BUT if you change to Blackhotn 209 you're going to find a lot of the barrel cleaning problems will go away. It's great stuff and if you haven't yet tried if your missing out, but it does cost more.

We all know that reloading manuals are to be used as a guide only. Each gun is different, and the variables are endless. Most reloaders are primarily concerned with muzzle velocity and are only concerned about pressure when indications start to show up on the primers or the case itself...

I geuss that I'm just trying to over clean. I'm talking mainly about my .300 WSM and my -06. I usally only spend time at the range shooting about 20 rounds each and only 5 at a time so not to over heat the barrel. Dr Vetto.. I've already eliminated the brass tip as a cause. I use to use Dewey...

My question is, How much is enough? I always start out with Hoppes #9,mixed with a little Kroil oil to remove powder and primer fouling. Once I'm satisfied, I then switch to Bore Tech's Eliminator, and work on the copper fouling. If it's been a long day at the range,I may use something...
