I crimp all my 30-30 ammo, I have had bullets get pushed deeper in the case just through being in the tube mag. I have Lyman dies that do a roll crimp, so a light crimp is enough to stop the projectile moving deeper than the front edge of the cannelure.

I should also mention my 30-30 didn't like the FTX, so I'm using the rest of the box in a 308.

Just checked my stock which is 30396 and is the same with the can way forward must have been older stock I was using in a 307 that had two cans . I no longer have a 30/30 or 307 so will use these in a 300 aac or 308
