I’m new to reloading rifle rounds, and I had a question about crimping. I’ve heard that yes you should crimp if you are using a bolt action or semi auto rifle so the bullet isn’t seated deeper from the recoil of the rifle or when you chamber a round , and I’ve also read that you should only crimp just enough to straighten the case mouth back after seating. I don’t worry a whole lot when I’m loading some little 115 grain 9mm to plink with at the range, but with a 30.06, that I’m counting on to hit and drop what I’m shooting at, I wanna make sure I’m doing everything right. Bullets I’m using are Hornady 150 grain SP and they do have a canellure.
