Re: Cast Bullets With a Crimp Groove for .30 Carbine
You motivated me to load a few.

The reloading manual said NOT to crimp as the .30 carbine headspaced on the mouth. It's my understanding as well that the bullet is held mostly by friction rather than by the crimp.

I'm shooting the M1 Carbine and a Blackhawk. Is there something I'm missing?
