I've heard you say that before AlleyKat, but it I don't see it that way at my bench. Yes, I realize that case mouth tension is what prevents setback, but it's pretty obvious that I can take a piece of brass with a nicely flared case mouth and push a bullet well in to it, and I cannot with one that isn't flared, and I can't with one that is taper crimped.

If we can agree that flaring a case mouth helps to open up the brass so the bullet can freely seat without shaving lead--

and we can agree that taper crimping un-does the flaring of the case mouth--

Why can't we agree that taper crimping aids in the defense of bullet setback?

In any case, he said he & his Dad were afraid of crimping on the whole. Roll crimping, taper crimping and crimping rifle cases will all help to reduce the possibility of bullet setback. Crimping your loaded reloads is not something you should be afraid to do.
