[QUOTE="Quintus, post: 2700645, member: 67552"] Before shooting Hammers I had never crimped and resisted it with hammers for some time. I was having bullets move on recoil in the 270 Win load so I broke down and got the Lee crimp die. My ES dropped from 12 to 5. I checked this again over the next 3 range trips for 10 shots each trip because I found it a little hard to believe and it remained consistent. I got the crimp die for the other cartridges I am shooting Hammers in and got the same results. ES starting in the high single to low double digits being cut to the low single digits. My accuracy didn't get noticeably better (I am a 1/2 minute shooter with 1/4 minute rifles :rolleyes:), but the benefit is still worth the 12 bucks for the die and simple, quick procedure. [/QUOTE]
