This might be a dumb question, but couldn't really find the answer . I have reloaded for bolt rifles for years and never had the need to crimp the bullet after it is seated. But I am hoping to do a little reloading for my AR in both 300 BO and .223.
Is it generally considered a "must" to crimp the bullet when reloading for a semi -auto, or is it generally a good idea. I will be reloading primarily for accuracy and for special sub sonic loads once I get my can.
I have some 30 caliber Hornady Interlocks which have a cannelure. But if you simply crimp in the cannelure, aren't you really limited in seating depth, which prevents seating according to your lands??
Thanks for suggestions.
