[QUOTE="cajun, post: 2679752, member: 9772"] You really shouldn't roll crimp a rifle round. A taper crimp like the lee fcd is better if you are crimping. Too aggresive of a crimp can affect bullet release. So if you are aiming for very light neck tension and hammering on a hard crimp it’s defeating the purpose. There has been anecdotal evidence that a moderate crimp can create consistent bullet release and help with velocity spreads. [/QUOTE]
