[QUOTE="codyadams, post: 1803663, member: 87243"] I crimp anything shot in my AR-15/10's, and anything shot in tubular magazines or revolvers. Pretty much what I don't crimp for is my bolt rifles/precision rifles, or my non rimmed pistol rounds (.40 s&w, 9mm, 45 acp, 10mm, etc.) as they headspace on the case mouth, I use a factory crimp die on them that doesn't actually curl the case mouth into a cannelure. If I had a hard recoiling Safari type rifle shooting big heavy bullets, I would crimp them too. I have loaded for a .338 NM that is 11.5 lbs all up, but it has a very efficient brake and I haven't noticed any bullet movement with .0015" neck tension, and I am about to start working on my personal 9.1 lb all up .338 NM, and hope to have the same results.
