The data I've read suggests a light crimp for 10mm rounds. My question: how do you crimp a jacketed bullet that doesn't have a cannelure?

When I load .45ACP, I use almost no crimp at all. Do I do the same for 10mm?

Why do bullets designed for revolver use have cannelures whereas ones designed for semi-autos usually have none? Probably a "duh" question, but I had to ask.
