Default RE: To crimp or not to crimp?

Sometimes - and I do mean sometimes, crimping will improve accuracy. Theory is that it allows for a more consistant starting pressure.
I've found that the Lee factory crimp die puts a nice crimp on a bottleneck cartridge like the '06. They are about $8 so its not like it will break you. Try it and see if it helps. It isn't a necessity however.
