Ok for the crimping question. With .45 ACP you are not actualy crimping the round. Just removing the case flare.

As far as trimming goes. Why? In over two years, and nearly 100 thousand .45 acp rounds loaded and shot. I have never had to trim a case, all of my brass has been mixed head stamp range pickup.
