[QUOTE="HTSmith, post: 869336, member: 23361"] Crimping for a bolt gun generally is not desirable, but I will share an exception that I encountered. Many years ago I bought a bolt 30/06 with an unbelievably long throat. I could barely reach the lands even with 180 Gr bullets, much less the 150's I wanted to use for deer. I struggled to get accuracy or velocity out of my reloads despite being at max book loads. So I tried the lee factory crimper on my 150 Gr Hornady Spire Points (which have the cannelure). It was like a miracle--velocity and accuracy improved. [/QUOTE]
