[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 2398976, member: 30902"] Unless you're shooting really hot charges in a bolt gun or loading them into an automatic you don't "need" to crimp them into the cannelure. Find the seating depth that gives you the best consistency in your groups and don't worry about the cannelure, that isn't it's purpose. Now, I do use a factory crimp die to ensure consistent neck tension in everything I load and have for several years but it is only a light crimp and again, not dependent on the Cannelure or any other mark on the bullet.
