[QUOTE="Sooner44, post: 903392, member: 75795"] I don't crimp, as a general rule, either. I do mostly hunting and really I am not concerned with precision accuracy on 80% of what I reload. As long as I can shoot 1" at 100 yards, 2" at 200 yards I'm good with that performance for where I hunt, as most shots are well under 200 yards. I do lightly crimp most of my hunting cartridges and see very little change in POI from the uncrimped rounds at the distances I shoot, so it's no big deal to me. If I was shooting 600 yards, I would do things differently for sure. Regarding factory crimped cartridges, they crimp to make sure the COAL remains constant and set-back does not occur, as they don't know how the cartridges will be handled by the end-user. [/QUOTE]
