I guess this is dependent on different factors, but was wondering what peoples opinions on this were. From what I been reading they're required in an auto or tube magazine rifle, and it has it's positives and negatives.
I crimped the bullets I've loaded so far. Mainly because the Lee manual says that it's preferable for hunting purposes. But also because time I gone done seating bullets on the 40 I've done yet I thought to myself "I'm out of cases now but I dont want to leave the bench yet, what else can I do?"
It was the Lee factory crimp die I used, and I only put a slight crimp on them.
Also noticed in the Lee manual that it says a crimp can help reduce differences cause by temperatures. Anyone have any experience with that?
It's bolt guns I'm shooting with, so the crimp might not be a necessity...
