[QUOTE="chav0_12, post: 2792417, member: 29765"] I might have to try that and see how much it works for some of my stuff. When do you know that you need to "clean up" a load"? I guess how far do you take it before just playing with neck tension? To the OP, I only crimp handgun loads and AR loads. I crimp the handgun loads because I have to remove the bell, and on the 44 mag to keep the cylinder from locking up on me I needed a Lee FCD. The 223 loads get crimped because there's a lot that's happening when a semi-auto runs a round into its chamber. I should play with the crimp amount and run it over my chronograph and see what it looks like. But really I'm not too worried about it. [/QUOTE]
