I posted this question under a different thread that may have confused some people as I've had very few responses. :banghead:
I just bought an FNAR 7.62x51 (.308 winchester) which is a semi-auto. I've reloaded for bolt action hunting rifle 308s before but never for a semi-auto. I've read that you should always use a taper crimp whether or not your bullet has a cannelure (sp?) when loading semi-auto. Can anyone confirm? Should I stick with bullets that have a cannelure? I would appreciate any input on what I might/should do differently when loading for a semi-auto. Thanks in advance.
