Do you use a taper crimp on your AR-15 .223 ammo?

[QUOTE="436, post: 2545965, member: 16609"] Yes, I apply crimp to almost all of my AR rounds mainly the ones that have a cannelure like my M262- Mod1 77gr OTM clone, for those that don't I still use a cannelure, but I use a very light crimp on them with a LEE Crimp Die... bolt guns are pretty much always tapper crimp, a few I'll crimp now and them. Actually, the LEE Crimp Die seems to improve accuracy in my rifles, maybe it's bringing the case and bullet into more of a concentric line? My concentricity case gauge tool seems to think so most of the time, and the LEE gives a loader very consistent neck pressure I think. Maybe I'm wrong just my 0.2 As for your crimping; are you using a factory roll crimp die? yeah, I think that could cause a problem, I only use roll crimps on my revolvers cartridges. Cheers [/QUOTE]
