[QUOTE="RT2506, post: 1949718, member: 10178"] Get a Lee Factory Crimp Die and crimp away. It creates it's own cannelure and does not destroy the bullet like some think and say. I have used them for years. I have had best results with what I call a medium crimp. I adjust the die with no round in it by looking down in the top where I can see the crimping fingers and adjust so they close half way between full open and full closed. If you want a really accurate and super deer bullet for the 30-30 get some 125 Gr Nosler Ballistic Tips. I have used the two shot load in a leaver action for years. I also have tried many bullets in Contender Pistols in 30-30 and 30-30AI and the 125 BT is the best I have found. I have killed a pile of deer with them. They are very accurate and at the velocities of the 30-30's I usually get complete pass through even through both front shoulders on a deer. I use this bullet in all my 30 cal. stuff for deer. As long as you keep the impact velocity under 3000 fps they work. [/QUOTE]
