EXPERIENCE
Suggest NOT using Rainier for deer; CAN be used, but mostly for holing paper.
I use a heavy roll crimp (REDDING) on the Rainier 240's, but I go over the shoulder break-point.
If loading longer (really light loads) you can try taper-crimping, but BE CAREFUL. Recoil can cause the bullets to pull right out of the cases.
(Universal Clays, TiteGroup)
I shoot 240g LSWC mostly (IPSC), and for deer-type game I highly recommend loading up some XTP's or Sierra 240g SM's.
Rainier bullets are plated, but I have achieved excellent accuracy even when driving them to IPSC MAJOR (9x19, 9x21, 38 Super, 357 Magnum, 40 S&W, 44 Magnum, and 45ACP). Maybe its just me......
