[QUOTE="DDB TX, post: 2970036, member: 64182"] Excellent advice, I learned the hard way to always buy the Lee Factory Crimp dies and add them as another step in the reloading. In spite of plentiful advice that the crimping was not required. Specifically I learned this whilst working up a 300 WSM load, having been assured by various internet reloading heroes that literally no reload needed a crimp. And then my chronograph gave me a 300 Weatherby velocity for a 300 WSM round, on a hot Texas afternoon, third shot; and I stopped of course; and the 4th round in the mag had been deeply seated by recoil when I measured it later. Which means, for those who are new to this stuff, that the bullet being stuffed back into the case by recoil, because it was not crimped, meant that the combustion chamber was reduced by that bullet's backwards thrust into that area; meaning that it had a smaller combustion chamber; which meant that it fired a **** ton hotter than planned. To put it in less technical language, it got crazy hot unexpectedly. So crimp your rounds, please. [/QUOTE]
