coframer Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 I am wanting to get into loading for rifle, 223, and was looking at some bullets to buy. I came across some bullets that were for sale w/o a cannelure? What exactly does this mean? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guy Neill Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 A cannelure is a groove running around the bullet used to crimp the case mouth into. Thus, a bullet without a cannelure has no crimping groove. Guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
technetium-99m Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 Personally I have never found a need for a cannelure, neck tension has always been just fine for me with 223 in AR's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
safarihunter Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 The lack of a cannelure shouldn't be a problem. I use a taper crimp die in my 650 rather than a roll crimp and it works well with non cannelured bullets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
