I'm getting ready to load some 130gr Hornady SSP bullets for a 30-30 Contender over H335. Pity Hornady no longer sells these bullets - I see 125gr Nosler BT's in my future. Neither of these bullets are intended for lever guns - no cannelure.
Does anyone have any experience with crimping these rounds using the standard Lee bullet seating die? With no cannelure, I'm wondering if this will provide enough bullet hold for good ignition, or if I should also purchase a factory crimp die to make up for no cannelure on these bullets?
