Look up (in reloading manuals) the OAL for that bullet, Then crimp into the side of the soft bullet. Don't worry about deforming the bullet. You need a good heavy crimp to insure efficient powder burning and accuracy.
I've tried them all, light crimp, taper crimp, no crimp. If you want consistency you need a heavy crimp. If you want erratic ignition and key holing, use a light or no crimp.
