Because its a lot less fiddling getting it setup to run those 1000 rounds.

To the OP:

You can buy a gauge to test your rounds. (Wilson and note, its very tight so you have to judge a it bit). Most of mine stick up a bit (depends on brass) so I do the following, take down your gun and use the barrel chamber as a check.

I have the Wilson but as noted I know how much mine stick up when still ok.

I crimp in a separate step and I do just enough to get a snug but not hard feel. Light crimp

Some books say no crimp and some say a lot, hmmm.

Issue is the head space, so if it slide into the chamber ok its ok.
