It can help some but not match ammo. Look at any disciple that requires the utmost in accuracy and there will be zero crimping. A majority will likely be running 0.002" neck tension a few maybe a touch more or less. Anything over 0.005" will possibly deform bullet jackets which is no bueno.Ozzman;1612898 said:Where did you hear this??
Crimping when done right will actually improve accuracy in my experience.
Now, too much crimp is another issue... I agree with you there.

Not my method. Not sure if that even works but could.Younggun;1612916 said:The manual with the die set will probably tell you, but you just raise the ram and screw the die in until it touches the shell holder, then back it out one full turn. Should prevent any crimping unless your brass REALLY needs to be trimmed.

I live in the mid-cities. I'm out of town this week and next but could swing by sometime the week of June 12th to explain some of the basics if you have all of your components.ussoldier1984;1613089 said:I live in north Irving The las colinas area.

Pro tip thought, buy a decapping die and decap then clean your brass before sizing and trimming. It'll stop gunk from building up in your resizing die.
