I have never loaded for the AR platform. I was wondering what the thoughts were on crimping bullets.
Is there a concern of bullet setback upon feeding ?
If you crimp, do you only use bullets with cannelures ?
Does anyone use a taper crimp ?
Also, does anyone load ammo to jam bullets into the rifling ?
I have read some people have done this.
This doesn't seem reliable for an autoloading rifle.
How would you guarantee the bolt is actually locked ?
thanks,
Lee
