Nope, I agree with Rifleman1776, crimp only if used in a tubular magazine. Further, if a projectile doesn't have a cannelure don't crimp because you may distort the bullet. Sierra took Lee to task a few years ago and subsequently Lee retracted there crimp for accuracy campaign especially if there isn't a cannelure. With that said I do have Lee crimp dies for a couple of rifles, it's important to know when it's O.K. to use a crimp! There can be a case made for heavy recoiling calibers to crimp if a cannelure is present, without a cannelure I would not crimp.. William
