Thanks for the replies. I've never loaded for a lever action with a tube magazine, do you guys crimp because you had problems with the bullets slipping, or just as an SOP?
If you have a tube mag lever gun, it's a good idea to crimp. If they are point to base and without a crimp, some could get hammered into the case mouth and raise pressures. If you are shooting them from a single shot or bolt gun, it doesn't matter as much and it's a matter of accuracy whether to crimp or not.
