Crimp for ammunition for use in semiautomatic rifles--M1 Garand as an example.
Not even there.
(Match 168's and 175s used in M1s & M1As' don't even have crimping grooves)

Crimping is neither required nor even desired for most North American-rated cartidges and normal bullet shank seating depths.
(Note: I do crimp the likes of heavy 375H&H and my 458WinMag, and those bullets do have crimping cannelures)
