    Question To Crimp, or not to crimp...

    Hi all. I've done a quick search, but haven't seen this question asked. I've just started reloading .270wsm using RCBS dies and Hornady 130gn SST's in Federal brass. Do the reloading gurus think a roll crimp is the go? Or no crimp at all? Or a light roll crimp? Looking at the Fedral factory rounds, they appear to have a very light crimp, if any. I want the most consistent load I can get, without blowing up my rifle and keeping my hands and eyes. Any advice would be very much appreciated.
    Cheers,
    Ken
