[QUOTE="lever-hed, post: 595765, member: 11667"] I would think crimping has nothing to do with tubular magazines, its setting the primers off with using pointed bullets that I'd be worried about.. Crimping is more a military use, as well as primers being crimped, allowing the rounds to be more durable especially the beating they take in auto or semi-auto weapons.. Using a crimp in a 25-06 i agree is not necessary.. I don't use it in mine and have considered it but its just another step not needed (extra work)... and doesnt do anything extra for accuracy, except more consideration in charging the round.. combine that with potentially loading to touch the rifling and I would not want to go through that permutation..
