[QUOTE="dougduey, post: 2792515, member: 33159"] You’re spot on here. If you read through the Lee loading manual, Mr Lee talks about crimping. Basically, you get consistent neck tension that creates a consistent pressure build up before the bullet is released. He said it’s basically like seating a bullet into the lands which so many competitive shooters prefer. I crimp everything. You can “tune” a load using the Crimp die, too. You’ll also find that factory ammo is crimped. [/QUOTE]
