Comment No crimp. I was trying to duplicate the original factory target load, but this rifle has a super tight chamber and bore. So I was 100 fps faster than I thought I would be. There were no pressure signs and the brass was very clean with a slight amount of carbon around the case neck. It gave a 1.19 inch group from a 23.5 inch barreled m/38 rifle at 2,622 fps. Norma or Lapua brass might help since tghey have a little more room inside.
