[QUOTE="dougduey, post: 2312023, member: 33159"] Bean taught me to crimp when I first started reloading almost 8 years ago. Below is directly from the Lee Load Manual. It explains that the crimp provides a uniform start pressure just like seating a bullet to the lands. Richard Lee goes on to state that this is why factory ammunition is crimped (because they have to be seated to a depth that works in all SAAMI spec firearms and can have a consistent uniform starting pressure when fired).
