I've used the crimp die extensively. I've not noticed an increase in accuracy, but I've definitely not noticed a DECREASE in accuracy, and I like having the security of the crimp. I use them with any bullets that have cannelures.

I don't, however, crimp non-cannelured bullets like Lee suggests that you can. I just can't get over the notion of adding a groove into the bullet with my crimp.


Richardca99,

Ever thought about comparing the accuracy of a crimped reload to a non-crimped? ....fishing....


Yes,I used the Factory Crimp Die on my 300Mag and 7mmMag and my group size shrunk from 1.5in to 1in.
