Hi all,
Starting to reload .41 Rem Mag. I've got Alliant's 2400 and some 210 and 220 grain bullets to load.
Question about crimping...do you? My reloading manual says a heavy roll crimp is necessary for use in revolvers, yet the factory Remington ammo that I've been using doesn't appear to be crimped at all. On top of that, the 210gr bullets don't even have the cannelure for a crimp.
So, can I get away with not putting a crimp on these reloads? I figure I'll get more life out of the brass if I don't have to crimp too.
Thanks,
-Steve
