Reloading is becoming more and more important with rising prices. I noticed that bullets without the cannula, or the ribbed part for crimping, are much cheaper. Question is, how is it for crimping, especially on some of those magnum rounds I shoot like .454? What does the brass grab onto to avoid "Crimp Creep?" Any tips on these bullets is much appreciated.

Measure the inside diameter of your brass after sizing and you should have about .002" bullet grip. One of the crimp dies should hold a bullet without a cannelure. There is a factory crimp die, a roll crimp die and a tapper crimp die. The roll crimp should do the trick. I use mostly lead bullets now so the crimp is not a issue.
