[QUOTE="Lefty7mmstw, post: 1135080, member: 48043"] You need enough neck tension to keep the pill from moving under recoil, no more. I've fired out 30 round mags in my ar with 5.56's loaded with 75 grain priv partisan pills with 4895 under them at 2800 fps with zero bullet creep. I do NOT ever crimp a round, unless my big rifles are being loaded. I crimp for my 375h@h, my 405 win, and my 44mag pistol. If you have issues with bullet creep, change your neck tension or toss a mild crimp on, but expect a loss of accuracy with the crimp. I wouldn't do it. As to bullet noses being damaged, use a bullet with a protected nose. Plenty of those designs are available. Listen to Bart on this one... [/QUOTE]
