[QUOTE="Teri Anne, post: 2313223, member: 118816"] I am not trying to be argumentative. To crimp or not to crimp is strictly a personal preference. Remember I spent 30 years in the Army as either a full time or extra duty marksmanship instructor. Yes you are in fact correct that the military does crimp most of its ammunition and there is a reason for this. Most military ammunition has the ability to be fired in fully automatic firearms. Without crimping bullets have a tendency to dislodge due to kinetic action similar to a Kinetic Bullet Puller. If a bullet dislodges it [B]WILL JAM [/B]a firearm and if in combat at the time it could be with devastating results. Military Match ammunition conversely is not crimped and is marked as Match ammunition not to be confused with Ball Ammo. [/QUOTE]
