Don’t think less rounds in the tube means less force on the cartridge.

I sure could be wrong here, but what I was referring to is the dropping back of the string of cartridges in the tube that happens upon the closing of the action. You have the compression of the magazine spring and the weight of the total number of rounds in the tube moving rearward and thumping to a stop.
I am very curious about Kreigwy's not crimping. I will give that a try this week.
I have a couple of boxes of dummy's made up just for training and they get used many times in the youth classes each year. The only thing that is inconsistent with these loads is I only give the youth 3 rounds to load and chamber, and they are 28grains >or< lighter than a loaded cartridge but so far I have not had one bullet push back yet.
