Case neck tension, are people just dumb or what ?
Many of us folks learned how to load from our dad, or another older person who raised us right.
And we try to pass that on.....
I think we ALL pretty much know that a crimp is really no substitute for neck tension...for some things with Boolits we can get by with almost NO neck tension...but we never use a crimp instead.
Lately I have tried to splain this to folks on another forum, and they just do not seem to grasp it.
In some cases they are ending up with bullets for say 44 magnum loads where they can push the loaded round against the edge of the bench by hand and seat the bullet deeper, then proclaim the proper crimp is achieved when you can no longer move the bullet that way. In extreme cases after seating and crimping the bullet you can SPIN the bullet around by hand.........but it does not move if you poress the loaded round against the bench edge :-).
GRRRR :-).
