Hi guys
Different opinions on crimping or not crimping when reloading for a .375 H&H mag.
Advocates of crimping say:
Increased accuracy, more reliability for dangerous games, some mentioned that their bullets (inside the mag) were going back 5mm in the case (due to recoil), if not crimped. Crimping required for .375 H&H.
Advocates for not crimping say:
Crimping decrease accuracy, they have no problem with bullet moving back in the case (inside the mag), no need for crimping on .375 H&H.
I have been extensively reloading for a couple of years (.308 and 7.62x54r). Nevertheless, I have no knowledge of crimping whatsoever, as I never had a need for it, until now.
My questions are:
Should a .375 H&H mag be crimped?
Does it increase, or decrease, accuracy?
I appreciate all help on this matter. I will eventually find out by myself, through trials and errors but knowing what other shooters/hunters experienced is always a bonus
