I am wanting to get into loading for rifle, 223, and was looking at some bullets to buy. I came across some bullets that were for sale w/o a cannelure? What exactly does this mean? Thanks.

A cannelure is a groove running around the bullet used to crimp the case mouth into. Thus, a bullet without a cannelure has no crimping groove.

Personally I have never found a need for a cannelure, neck tension has always been just fine for me with 223 in AR's.

The lack of a cannelure shouldn't be a problem. I use a taper crimp die in my 650 rather than a roll crimp and it works well with non cannelured bullets
