[QUOTE="varmintH8R, post: 891235, member: 39801"] As a general rule, rifle and semi-auto pistols can be taper crimped, and revolvers can be roll-crimped (there is typically a channel in the bullet to allow roll-crimping). The cannelure on the 60gr NBT should help displace a tiny bit of material to make your taper crimp more robust, but you definitely don't need to really squish the case neck on there - a "normal" taper crimp is fine. As Flip said, you can taper crimp bullets without a cannelure as well. I'm not sure if what you read in the Nosler manual is a matter of semantics or if it is an error, but regardless it shouldn't effect what you do - load 'em up and if you feel the need crimp them and you will be fine. Your lee factory crimp die should do the job nicely. [/QUOTE]
