Works for me!
I can use the Lee collet crimper on .44 magnum loads in a lever-action rifle and crimp boolits on front driving band of a SWC or anywhere on a RNFP to make them cycle in various different makes of lever rifles. Tested several times with completely loaded tube magazines and shot,....no boolit set-back or movement due recoil.
A reduction and work-up of powder charge is needed with a deeper seated boolit, just to be safe!
I also tested with a heavy roll crimp using Lyman dies, and no boolit set back or movement in my lever actions. Other people may have different experience.
Boolit set-back in lever actions IS different than recoil-induced boolit movement in revolvers, but proper neck tension and a good crimp into a cast-alloy boolit driving band should hold up.
I tend to think good neck tension holds the boolit better than the crimp on revolver boolit, but they both work together.
