Only thing you need to crimp is AR type guns.

You need to crimp anything that is pushed into an end to end magazine, lever action 30-30 ECT. This keeps the bullet from being pushed into the case too far. I would not even recommend using a cannelured bullet unless used in this type weapon. Their are much better designed bullets out there.

It's likely that no further discussion is required, in which case we recommend starting a new thread. If however you feel your response is required you can still do so.

I understand this is an old thread, but want to reply anyway
