Why bother with crimping waist of time for deer stalking if you ask me .
Would not kill a Northamptonshire Muntjac with those.Wf1
Crimp looks heavy to me. Did it take much pressure on the handle?
And why crimp? Because it's what the cool kids do.~Muir

Hey nutty, that looks like a Nosler Accubond....it doesn't have a crimping cannelure !! So, there's nothing there to crimp in to.
Personally I've only ever crimped revolver and belted magnum rounds. I've never ever crimped any other type of hunting rounds - but I guess it doesn't mean you can't/shouldn't. ATB
My sister has never eaten venison. Can't see the point. She has lived this long without it, just fine!~Muir
PS: If you're reloaded for over 50 years and not crimped, you have not needed to load for a multitude of different situations,weapons and cartridges that require a crimp.[/QUOTE
What weapons, situations and cartridges have I needed and been deprived of that required a crimp ?
HWH.
you dont need a cannelure to "crimp into"
it will still work without
OK, - I can accept that, - but doesn't the 'crimp' then damage the bullet jacket interfering with the bullets intended flight & terminal performance?
