Thanks Chris, I have noticed a few posts where people have specified a crimp of 0.431 for example. How is this measured? What is the criteria for comparison? I assume this is a measurement taken with a caliper, but I'm not sure how to arrive at this value to quantify the amount of crimp being applied to the bullet.
