[QUOTE="AKI, post: 147195, member: 1060"] I have never crimped the bullets in my 338 Lapua. Not even hunting rounds that I generally crimp in other calibers. TBBC 225gr, A-Frame 275gr and 231gr Naturalis, no problem with bullets moving under recoil. The Lapua brass is pretty stiff. Perhaps this is enough to prevent any sliding. It´s all a question about neck tension. Try a few with "full power" load and measure the cartridge length before and after. The A-Frames were loaded with 24N41 that gave a compressed load, which support the bullets to some extent. [/QUOTE]
