Is it good practice to crimp a .30-caliber target bullet that does not have a cannelure? | ||

IMO one only crimps bullets with a cannelure. /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// "Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery." Winston Churchill | |||

I agree. If there's nothing to crimp like a groove or cannelure, then crimping should be avoided. Ted Kennedy's car has killed more people than my guns | |||

For target shooting all crimps are detrimental to good accuracy whether there's a crimp groove or not. velocity is like a new car, always losing value. BC is like diamonds, holding value forever. | |||

crimping where there is no groove wil squeeze the bullet. the copper and lead spring back at different rates leaving a gap between the jacket and core. can't be good for accuracy. | |||
