Default RE: Crimping

If you fully load the mag. of your 243, and fire two or three shots, check the remaining cartridge(s) in the mag. In some rifles, the bullets can move forward and slam into the wall of the mag when the gun is fired. That can deform some bullets, and even shove them back into the cartridge case if not crimped. If none of that happens, don't bother crimping for your gun.
