[QUOTE="Varmint Hunter, post: 2903321, member: 313"] Crimping, not crimping, and/or how much to crimp is all very experimental. I've been shooting the 143HH in a new custom rifle. Results at 400yds weren't very impressive. I decided to try again without crimping. The rifle started to printing groups just under 2" at 417yds. While some guys have had good results with crimping, I have found that there is no hard and fast rule as to crimping Hammer bullets or any other bullets. The only thing you can do is test things in your rifle, with your load. BTW - my .308 loads use crimps as heavy as the one you posted, and they shoot very well with the 150 PH bullet. [/QUOTE]
