I only have one reloading manual so far (Lyman) and it says that ammo being used in revolvers, semi-auto, and tubular magazine-fed firearms should be crimped. It also says that you should only crimp bullets with cannelure. I'm looking at a lot of the pistol bullets out there and a lot of them don't appear to have cannelures. So it seems like I can't follow Lyman's advice!
Also, for some reason I'm thinking that taper crimping wouldn't require a cannelure whereas roll crimping would (though I'm probably wrong!). I'm trying to decide on a die set for my 40S&Ws and I've been looking at the Dillon and Hornady sets. Both sets feature roll crimping. Is this what I want?
Also, I'm getting the Forster rifle dies for my .308 (M14). They do not crimp. Any recommendations on a crimp-only die for .308?
