[QUOTE="cdherman, post: 2831004, member: 12282"] I tried crimping on a 340 Wby and my 6.5x55 Tikka. Did not achieve much improvement. Which is not to say I disagree with it at all. But its not a panacea either. My tikka already was shooting pretty good, but since it was throated with so much freebore, I wondered if a crimp would help. Didn't seem to. The Wby has typical long Wby freebore. Refuses to shoot anything over 200 grains accurately. Like what's the point of a 340 if it cannot toss a heavy bullet. Well crimping did not seem to help there either. The Wby is too pretty for a muzzle brake or can, and just plain bludgeons you even doing load workup with a shoulder pad and a sled. Sometimes I think its inaccurate cause I am afraid of it....... Anyhow, I have invested in a number of Lee crimp sets. Trying them out. Indeed, neither gun shot worse. Just not better. [/QUOTE]
