Judge I know of two guys that reload .30-30 Win. If being loaded into the tube magazine causes setback in the bullet they crimp inot the cannulure. I know one of them does this for that reason. He also says he uses the minimum crimp he can get away with without having the bullets set back. I have watched him load, and loaded a couple myself. Bullet pull is fine. They are being pushed back by a spring pressing the rounds infront of them.

Oh and I have not crimped a single one of the bullets I have fired in any of the rifles I own.
