[QUOTE="SMDunn, post: 2569559, member: 86942"] For my hunting rounds in lower recoil calibres I always lightly crimp with a Lee collet factory crimp die in the belief (possibly misguided) that it contributes to : [LIST] [*]a more consistent release pressure from the case [*]a more consistent, more "centered" loaded round (due to the technique used) [/LIST] For the larger calibres I crimp more firmly to achieve the same as above plus to make it resistant to movement due to recoil and or magazine bump. The Lee die can even create a cannelure in the projectile where there was not one. Very interested to hear if anyone has evidence to show me that I am deluding myself and wasting my time. [/QUOTE]
