[QUOTE="ofbandg, post: 1768127, member: 91402"] I have owned a couple of hunting rifles where the new chambers weren't polished up after cutting and a sharp edge remained. The case mouths would sometimes catch the edge and deform slightly on feeding so I switched to crimping into a cannelure to solve this. Accuracy usually wasn't affected. A few times in the past I crimped heavy recoil rifles where I could see the bullets being knocked deeper into the case from contact with the front of the mag but it's rare nowadays as bullet and case specs are more uniform. Overall I don't crimp unless there is a specific problem. [/QUOTE]
