Got my reloading kit!

will270win

Just got my reloading kit and I am not in the field anymore. I got the deluxe kit from Cabela's(hate mail order but no dealers here in the desert for some reason)I have all the goodies like the electronic scale and powder trickler. I have not paid my dues on a 5-0-5 scale but I don't want to have to upgrade later. I guess what I want to know is, since I won't be using the canellured bullets, what will hold the projectile in place once it is loaded? Is there maybe a little bit of crimp there? What are some other useful tools to have?THANX!

Neck tension of the brass holds the bullet.In other words,the brass neck is sized a couple-3 thousands smaller then bullet diameter. Some people do neck crimp,in heavy recoiling rifles.Lee makes a dandy neck crimper.

I use a Lee Factory Crimp die for my .223 AR-15 loads. It's not a roll crimp, and you can easily adjust it so it just barely taper crimps the neck.
