[QUOTE="Varmint Hunter, post: 2673279, member: 313"] I do not crimp any of my reloads except for the 45-70. I have experimented with crimping Hammer bullets because of the minimal bearing surface in the neck with their bullets. In direct comparison with Hammer reloads with, and without, crimp; I found that the results varied. I have concluded that you can't just assume that crimping will always improve your accuracy. There was also an "assumption" that magnum primers always improved Hammer reloads but that has been disproven by many loyal Hammer users. The fact is that all rifles are different, and components vary widely from reloader to reloader. It's difficult to predetermine the effects of various changes without actually trying them on paper. My recommendation would be to try your reloads without a crimp first and if unsatisfied then you can try crimping to see how it effects the group. [/QUOTE]
