[QUOTE="Calvin45, post: 2832695, member: 109862"] I was being silly mostly haha, but I will say I crimp these loads pretty hard to ensure consistent ignition. In my .257 wby the use of non magnum primers in conjunction with a decently heavy crimp seems to produce very pleasing results. I don’t know if hbn would matter much on a hammer as the bearing surface is so little to begin with but I did it mainly because the bore is treated with it and all my other loads use it so I stay consistent. Haven’t fired any untreated bullets over the chrono with that rifle. These treated 75ers are doing 4150 fps with single digit ES numbers and about as accurate as any other load (sub 1 inch, not a cloverleaf shooter but sub MOA which for me and what I intend for this particular rifle is certainly more than sufficient) out of a 24 inch stainless vanguard 😁😁😁😁 [/QUOTE]
