In a hard recoile rifle like the 1895 45/70 crimp for SAFETY reason dont want your bullet to go in side the case also they say you get better your rifle more
accurate.
Ok, compelling information. But still not enough data to make the blanket statement "crimped rifle rounds have better accuracy over un-crimped".
Considering it is known that different rifles get better accuracy from different powders, diffrent loads, different bullets, and a host of other variables, why not some do better crimped and some un-crimped.
True, but it is compelling enough to disprove the blanket statement "crimped rounds will distort the bullet and degrade accuracy", yes.
I will go out on a limb here and say that without a doubt (blanket statement) the use of the Lee Factory Crimp die improves accuracy in MY semi-auto rifles. YMMV.
I crimp everything I reload weather it's a feeding or just to keep all my ammo on a even plain. I pick up alot of range brass and alot of the 223 I get the bullet just drops right though the case so I do a two stage decap/resize then it run it though a lee neck sizing die
A crimp will help even out groups when you're using mixed brass (mixed headstamps, lengths, and # of times fired).
I could find no difference between crimped and uncrimped rounds when my brass was sorted by headstamp, number of times fired, and trimmed to the same length.
As far as increasing neck tension goes, if you undersize the necks to more than about 0.0025" under bullet diameter, you're wasting your time.
