The Norma 230 grain does not have the grove to crimp it in place. Is it necessary to crimp the bullets in a 9.3x62? What do you guys do?
I crimp with LFCD like everybody else. One of my most accurate loads is the 286 gr Hornady. There are no loads where I seat the bullet as deep as the cannelure on that bullet, but I still lightly crimp it.The Norma 230 grain does not have the grove to crimp it in place.

@baxterbYup. I crimp everything with a Lee. Whether it’s in a groove or not.

Damn the decmel point. The Privi 285 in Privi brass setback was .020" (not .0020).Should note I did similar with a 285 grain Privi loaded into New Privi brass. I also annealed the Privi brass, even though it was factory new.
I left one round it in the bottom of the magazine and fired 9 rounds. Set-back was -.0020".
