[QUOTE="Byrnesy, post: 891643, member: 60029"] I am after experiences on bullet crimping with compressed loads. I am working up loads for a new Stalking rifle, 8X57Mauser and both 2208 and 2209 go to 100% case capacity and beyond. Firstly I noticed a difference in seating depth across the different loads, obviously due to the different amount of compression. This was adjusted for. But I don't want the pills jacking out over time. And this is likely to get worse as the cases are re-used and neck tension lessen. So I am thinking about crimping but this would mean applying a cannelure to the pills (and buying a tool) as I am using Nosler 200 grain Accubonds. Loads haven't been tested yet and the problem may lessen to disappear once cases are fire formed. But it doesnt hurt to give this some forward thought. [/QUOTE]
