I have never used a crimp on rifle round that go into a bolt action rifle. Nor have I ever crimped a .223 round that was ging into an AR. I have never had the need to. They hold just fine with neck tension.
I have 3 sets of rifle dies that allow for a crimp if the reloader wants to. I tested crimped rounds, against uncrimped rounds. The uncrimped gave more consitint groups. That has been my experienc. YMMV
