I crimp everything. My AR is not the standard .223 or 5.56 though. My Mini 14 seems to like ammo of either kind. I ran up a lot of 62 gr speer that I crimped and it likes that a lot--a friend gave me a ton of Wolf .223 62 grain and it likes that too--the Wolf is not crimped. Both rounds shoot a hand sized group at 200 yards.
