Home Forums Reloading Big Game Rifles Should I crimp my bullets?

In your situation, crimping would be to influence initial powder burn, not bullet set-back, and that does influence accuracy. As mentioned above, only experimentation will tell you if it will help you or not, not any of us. Any effect won't be massive, it's just a tweak.

There is a potential to damage the bullet with an excessive crimp exists, go easy. Ham fisted reloaders should NOT CRIMP!
