Crimp necessary 300 Barnes TSX .416 Weatherby?

[manykids]

I'm preparing a batch of. 416 Weatherby rounds and am going to use 300 gn TSX over 119 gn of RE19. It's been nearly ten years since I ran the last batch and don't recall if I crimped the bullets, I'm thinking it isn't necessary, what is the recommendation from the members here?

If you knew the neck tension of your loaded rounds, I’d say if you have .003 or so, you’ll not have any issues holding the bullet in place.

I don’t crimp anything for my 416 Wby. The only bullet I crimped in the 460 Wby is the 404 gr Shock Hammer the rest are a negative. Hammer bullets have so little bearing surface is the reason.

I wouldn't crimp.

I never crimped bullets for my 416 Wby.
