You should be fine with a roll crimp...

From the Berry's website FAQ (http://www.berrysmfg.com/faq.aspx?n=71877).

Plated bullets are very difficult to cannelure. It requires an extra step after the plating and if not done carefully can ruin the plating. We only put a cannelure in two bullets (45-70 and 500 S&W). You shouldn't need a cannelure on our other bullets. If you feel the need, you can use a snug roll crimp to keep bullets in place. Just ensure you don't get the roll too tight such that it severs the plating and destroys the bullet.

I have crimped bullets without a cannelure in semi-auto rifles...
