Del, as regards crimping mate.
Folk dont crimp because they believe that it is only used to prevent bullets coming loose and keeping things waterproof in military ammunition made for automatic weapons....and to a point they would be right, however.
As I said, many have found that when loading to mag lengths, crimping has given a more consistent release pressure leading to tighter groups. I certainly improves the groups past the optimum for non crimped loads in all of my rifles.
