[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3789601, member: 15054"] Rude. And does not mean I do not know how to crimp it means crimping did not add anything for me I have tried different amounts of crimp and different types of crimps. You do notice I mention if the bullet sets back to add some crimp. I did not mention Interference fit though you need that also. Does make huge differences in how well the bullet is held in place. I bet you do not measure all your cases for I.D. AND SORT that is why you crimp and like to bust my chaps about not crimping. Because you are the inexperienced or maybe lazy one that uses some sort of fancy automatic press instead of a cast single stage. No need to measure everything to the .0005" I measure to that. Never in any reloading tests or experiments or daily reloading have I ever hurt or damaged a firearm. NEVER. Or a person or myself PERIOD! You would probably love to bad mouth Elmer Keith for his testing. Or the person who decided to use Red Dot powder in a rifle case. It is these people we owe a lot to for their testing and sharing of their results. I give many of "my" results and fact is people will experiment for their own benefit and if you have never experimented with and without trim or crimp or different lube or different "bullet tension" you are probably missing out on some accuracy. If you just want something to go bang and hit a mellon at 20 feet it does not take much to get there. [/QUOTE]
