.44 Rem Magnum
240 grain Magnatech Semi-Jacketet Soft Flat Point
1.600 OAL
11 grains HP-38
Out of a Ruger Redhawk w Leupold scope
25 Yards Bench Rest
For Accuracy
To Crimp or Not????
Just loaded a batch of 50
Sized....and... Flared just enough to allow easy bullet starting
Used a combination Seat / Crimp (Lee)
Had crimp portion set just barely enough to return flared case back to sized diameter
No visible "crimp = case mouth turning into cannenlure {sp?}"
( They Fell in and out of cartridge Max Gauge )
Pushed seated bullet HARD against bench
It did NOT move
Is this enough ??
Literature usually says to "Crimp" ......firmly even ...
What to do?
