If I am reloading .223 for use in an Ar-15, do I need to use a crimp die to crimp the bullets into the casing? If so, what kind of crimp die should I use? I have noticed several different styles that make different types of crimp. I have a Lee press, and Lee dies. Thanx! P.Smith |

Do you have to crimp ? No, my suggested method is a Redding Taper Crimp or a Lee FCD. For a uniform crimp you need the case length to be relatively consistent! For blasting ammo, I crimp. But for precison ammo I do not crimp. And, this is over several platforms AR, M1 Garand, or M1A. |
