Crimping the 9.3x62

I have had bullets move that were not crimped so I crimp anything that I am going to hunt with. It seems to me a simple thing to do to make my ammo more reliable.
 
One problem with crimping is that to ensure the loads (and hopefully pressure increases) are consistent, you'll need to trim all your cases to exactly the same length, other wise, the crimps won't be the same from case to case and therefore the neck tension will vary greatly compared to no crimp.
