Reeder Custom Guns - Gary: Crimp question

Gary,

Do you crimp your bullets for your big encore cartridges? Do you think it is required for single shot 500's?

Thanks
Mark

cartridges like the 378 GNR and those on the 405 case, I lightly crimp them, not enough to bulge the mouth of the case. A good tight neck on any cartridge is always beneficial. I very seldom use the expander die. I just chamfer the mouth of the case to keep the tension in.
