[QUOTE="Lefty7mmstw, post: 891506, member: 48043"] Did you by chance buy overruns or blems?? If so they are often destined for a factory but they make a bit more than they need.... The extra after culling unusable bullets is sold off at a discount. I suspect that is how you got cannelured nosler bt's. I have gotten some cannelured 338 cal ab's as blems. The cannelure really makes no difference as to bullet performence if you don't need it. Just leave it be. If you need a mild crimp on a 22 for an auto, either use a cannelured bullet and crimp into it (roll crimp) or use either a taper crimp or lee factory crimp die to put a bit of crimp on it. Make sure your brass is exactly the same length if you crimp, as varying length will affect bullet pull a lot more than uncrimped ammo. Also, if you roll crimp you can run into case damage and feeding issues on any brass that is longer than the brass you use to set the crimp. [/QUOTE]
