[QUOTE="DaveTN, post: 5832970, member: 3052"] I've seen varying thoughts on whether to crimp on a cannelure or not. I'd like to hear what you guys here have to say about it. I haven't loaded any rifle ammo yet and I need a plan. I'm not a reloading expert, I'm a retired Toolmaker, and therefore not crimping on a cannelure seems like a bad idea to me for ammo that might be banged around in transport or used in a magazine. The possibility of a bullet moving seems like a bad idea. I'm be loading .223 and .308 for range use, no hunting. I'm not using high dollar match bullets, just mostly experimenting with different weight FMJ. .223 will be used in an AR. The .308 I'm going to try to see if I can load something that will work well in both my .308 bolt and .308 AR10. I loaded some handgun ammo and had good luck with that. Time to do some rifle ammo. I see comments about accuracy suffering with a crimp on a cannelure. How much are we talking, generally speaking? And if you aren't crimped on a on a cannelure how do you know you have enough crimp to keep the bullet from moving? [/QUOTE]
