When I first started buying equipment for reloading I had purchased a box of 100 - 30 Cal Hornady 150 gr FMJ-BT. Never reloaded it but had other projectiles without cannelure I reloaded. This has a cannelure. Now that I am doing more reloading, am more confident now I want to load this projectile. I made a dummy round and it is not crimped.
Do all projectiles that have cannelure always have to be crimped? From what I read and seen on videos all mention its for having grip. But is there another purpose to it? Are these type popular as I don't see much of these styles in the shelves at Cabelas. I mostly buy reloading items from here.
Here is my dummy round with no crimp.

By the way it measured at 3.1700" in case you are wondering.
Due to my inexperience with crimps, I avoided projectiles with cannelure. This box was purchased as it was on sale at 25% off at the time of purchase many months back.
I had purchased these as at that time I only had a 30-06 hunting rifle and wanted to use it for target shooting also. But now I have other rifles and are easier on my shoulder. LOL. But now don't want to have these go to waste.
Thanks for the help.
