I still crimp, Years have not changed my mind. Ask yourself this question: Why is factory ammo crimped? Because it is safer more consistant ammo. That said, some rifle ammo I reload I do not crimp.

I Have a lot of 223 bullets that are canelured . Do they HAVE to be crimped? Also can you put a light crimp on a bullet without a canelure?

No , the canelured don't have to be crimped, and yes you can put a crimp on a bullet without a canelure, it's a matter of preferance. I put a light crimp on all of my reloads.

After reading all the information on this thread, I have decided to send to LEE for a couple of spare sizing balls and turn one down .001 and one down .002 and see which one I like the best and which one my weapon likes the best and go with it.
