Crimping centrefire bullets?
[QUOTE=Thegreg;8218532]Nope. Never had the need to. Some people swear by it for improving accuracy/consistency but in truth the main practical purpose for crimping rifle ammo is [in a magazine], it stops the bullets receding into the cases under recoil.
Another downside is it drastically reduces the life of your brass.
Depends what you’re doing I suppose.

I've asked as a shooter in The U.S. who seems to be vastly experienced swears by it in relation to a 6.5 Grendel which we message about.
However another vastly experienced re-loader at my club never does, saying better to concentrate on the same weight, measurements etc.
I'm tending to go with the latter.
