[QUOTE="Old Rooster, post: 1806954, member: 108576"] The reason I asked about crimping or not is not from me.A friend has a family member that had a receiver come apart on a Savage 99 due to bullet receding into the case at recoil and caused over pressure. I use a Lee factory crimp die on tubular magazines rifles and all 3 of my ar15's but not on some bolt action rifles but I do try to get by with another reload out of a well used case and wondered if neck tension would be reduced due to use. I do use the Lee factory crimp die on my 300 win mags but not on others. I am not sure how to check for neck tension on a used case and wondered if it would be wise to crimp just in case the case is well worn. I see many use the Lee die and I personally have not seen any difference in accuracy with or without the die use in my bolt guns but others may see a difference in their rifles. Just wondering what everyone else does so I can make an educated decision and not have an accident. Old Rooster [/QUOTE]
