[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1856251, member: 2736"] There are a few cases that can/should be crimped, but very few. Normally the largest cartridges and dangerous game cartridges are crimped, because of the benefit of being crimped, but you must use bullets with a cannelure. Bullets with cannelures are getting harder to find and fewer and fewer people are doing it. Many large bore pistols for hunting also benefit from crimping. The main thing that has to be done before crimping Is trimming to less length than neck chamber to allow the case to open up correctly. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
