[QUOTE="Alibiiv, post: 1677946, member: 69192"] If you put too much crimp on your bullet, you are going to wrinkle your brass. The only crimping I would do, if I were crimping a bottleneck case, would be on a bullet with a cannular groove, or.....with a very light taper-crimp. I've reloaded many cartridges of many calibers and have never encountered a time when I needed a crimp on a bottle necked case. Not saying it is not necessary, just have never seen or needed one myself. The only crimping I do is on cases that are going into a tubular magazine such as a 30-30/35Remington or all my straight walled cartridges like the 45-70 going into the Marin Guide Gun; these bullets do have a cannular groove.
