I don't find crimp to be a problem. Just set the seater die to remove the flare but not to crimp significantly. I'm loading slightly oversized cast bullets so there is plenty of neck tension to hold the bullet in place.
Crimp would not be a problem in the .32 ACP since it is semi-rimmed. The .380 does headspace on the mouth, but it's enough bigger to be no more problem than loading 9x19.
I can't comment on relative accuracy since my .380 has only rudimentary sights. With the tiny pocket pistols, staying on a pie plate at 30-40 feet is all I ask. The Benelli is a finely accurate target pistol, but I have never even seen a box of factory .32 S&W Long WC so only handloads have been through it.
