[QUOTE="Deleted member 107796, post: 1886308"] All of my manuals say to never do that with an uncannelured rifle bullet, due to damage to the cladding. Some handgun cartridges can have a crimp with these bullets to assure better ignition. The slippage of the OP with the tension being measured seems somewhat rare with a low mass 270 bullet, but possible. I crimp for a few magnum calibers and have seen my 7mm wsm with low enough neck tension to crimp when I use bullets with a cannelure. The idea of any slippage is what warrants your need to crimp, which is good in my book. [/QUOTE]
