[QUOTE="ZombieHitman, post: 446986, member: 28260"] I use range brass, but knowing the source and who's shooting it, (Federal and Lake City headstamps), and what it's been put through (AR's), I don't sweat the crimp. In some circumstances a crimp would be advised, like when used in a tubular magazine (Never heard of any 223 that used one of those), or perhaps in a bolt action rifle (recoil might have an effect on moving the seat position), otherwise neck tension should be sufficient. Ultimately, if you want to crimp, go for it. If not, don't. Do what works for you in your specific application. [/QUOTE]
