[QUOTE="Starlite, post: 2218238, member: 112246"] Fully agree. I use Lee crimp dies for my 6&6.5 creedmoor, 270Win and 223win. I’ve done extensive testing with cannelure pills, non-cannelure and monos with and without crimp. Most of the time I get similar or better results with a crimp. I think this is because I’m generally getting more consistent neck tension. Likely because my dies size with a elliptical ball mandrel. In my opinion any magazine loaded magnum cartridge for hunting should have a minimum of .003”-.004” of tension and be crimped, especially if it’s a cannelured projectile. Just my 2c. “Fail to Plan-Plan to Fail” Also OP FWIW I do a lot of bench rest shooting (single feed 95% of the time). My loads are all neck sized with.001” of neck tension. Different techniques for different situations. I’d suspect some hunt this way too. Not my style but if it works then who am I to say. [/QUOTE]
