Crimp enough to prevent bullet movement under recoil - and no more.

Many handloaders crimp too heavily. After more than fifty years of loading full power .357 and .44 Magnum cartridges, it's hard for me to buy into the "heavier crimp makes powder burn completely" theory. An adequate crimp works fine. My experience has almost entirely been with cast bullets.
