[QUOTE="Hard rock, post: 2792247, member: 116620"] I think the biggest reason for crimping , is a little extra insurance of not having the bullet move , depending on neck tension etc . Some of the other benefits are reducing extreme spread from shot to shot for better accuracy . I don’t think many hand loaders load to increase vel , pressure etc , at least I don’t , some bullets and cartridges I crimp and some I don’t . I do see some benefit in crimping , but it isn’t absolutely necessary , unless it is a very heavy recoiling rifle , cartridge etc . Then safety plays a big part ,I.M.O. [/QUOTE]
