Slamfire, note that all rimfire matches are won with and records set with crimped in bullets. Just an observation. . . . .but maybe they don't count.
Rimfire bullets are crimped and they are designed to be crimped with a deep crimp groove. They are also externally lubricated, proving again, that Hatcher's warnings about greased bullets blowing up your rifle are bogus.

Now you take a nice centerfire bullet without a crimp groove, and crimp it, you are going to deform the lead core.

But you knew that
