[QUOTE="Lost Lake, post: 5833009, member: 12599"] I’m not a benchrest shooter, so I’m not interested in gnat-sized bughole groups. It’d be fine if it happens though, but I’m not going to obsess over it. There are arguments over crimping or not affecting accuracy. Most times the cannelure is in the proper place for COAL, but I might seat bullets out farther, and I’ll ignore the cannelure, most bullets that I use don’t have one. With hunting ammo in my bolt actions, I still put a light crimp on my ammo in case of bullet setback in the magazine during recoil. Even though simple neck tension should be enough, I still do it. I don’t want any surprises in the field. With my tube fed lever actions, especially my big bore levers, I use a Lee Factory Crimp die and go on the heavy side. I’ve seen factory ammo suffer from considerable bullet setback from simple magazine spring tension from loading, never mind the recoil. [/QUOTE]
