My experience with loose crimps (both factory loads and my best) is limited to rounds that have been repeatedly chambered in my Win 94. Seems the trip up the ramp and against the top of the chamber puts some stiff side loads on the bullet. If your style of hunting causes you to clear the chamber a few times a day (crossing fences, climbing into your stand, etc...) you may discover after a few days of hunting some of the bullets are no longer tight in the brass.
One old timer I crossed paths with had more than a few of his factory bullets actually pushed back inside the case. He had been “hunting” (more like taking his gun for a walk) with the same box of bullets for too many years and the crimps were history.
