If it works for ya stick with it but the thread title didn't ask the question "Do You Crimp"I barely moved away from the mark like .001
I am not an expert, but you can NOT lose what you never hadthat it not necessary
Ya know this is what is called a pretty informal group. There are many other places where the desire to be grammatically or subjectively perfect is desired. We all share our opinions as well as our wins and losses with others.Here if you haven't noticed we tend to wander around exploring as well as relating our experiences. Being off topic is not unusual.The title of the thread is "Why I Crimp" not why anyone else should...

What did you discoverThat would be a valid reason to crimp! Some rifles respond favorably to a crimp, some do not. I have started checking if a crimp helps to improve accuracy and/or SD as a step in the process of developing a new load.
In my testing I didnt find a benefit from crimping. It helps keep hammer bullets from moving since they have mush less contact with the case neck. I tried crimping them and found .003 neck tension kept them in place for me and shot better. The only way to know is test it in your rifle. Some benefit and some dont. YMMVWhat did you discover
