[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1286491, member: 30902"] I've tried it with several different types of bullets in three different calibers. On those that don't have a cannelure or drive bands I'm using just a very gentle crimp so as to not damage the bullets by adjusting the crimp die to where I can just see that it has marked the brass. It definitely seems to improve the consistency of my neck tension and tightened up my groups. I arrived at this by comparing loads that were exactly the same other than one being crimped and the others not shooting three and four shot groups through the .260's, .300 RUM and 7mm STW. [/QUOTE]
