I am starting to load for my 12" Encore pistol in .454 Casull. Being it is a single shot, I don't have to worry about the recoil pulling any bullets. But, using either H110 or Win. 296, is a crimp needed to ensure proper ignition of the powder charge? I am going to be using a standard book load, right out of the 4th edition Hornady manual, but it does not mention crimping at all. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
