I'm reloading 150 gr Sierra FMJBT cannelured bullets for my Remmy 700 in .308 but neck sizing and wonder if I would maintain sufficient jump-off velocity by skipping the crimping stage? They're already tight enough to not budge. Thanks!
If you are looking for accuracy I would not crimp. I shoot an m1a 7.62 nato and never crimp.

Really, I thought the rule of thumb was that if it was a magazine fed gun, you should crimp. I learned something tonight, thanks!
a garand type action has a smooth feed but I have seen bullets pushed all the way into the brass on other semis which scared me into crimping. ARs really need it
