taurus 66 stainless 6" barrel with a molded blackhawk hoslter. i wanna put a new grip on it soon

also here’s a tidbit of info

besides the reason you stated the crimp on the bullet is also used to allow a large volume of slower burning ball powder to more fully burn before the bullet is propelled down the bore. without a heavy crimp some powders may not fully burn before the bullet leaves the barrel. a heavy crimp coupled with a magnum primer and you’ll have very little waste. i use H110 and a max load will be compressed under the bullet. that’s a lot of powder that doesn’t have a lot of space to burn
