And looking at Lee's website, I see their bullet seating dies can apply both a taper crimp and also a roll crimp depending on how deep the die is seated. So I may have roll crimped all my .32 ammo last night as I was going for a firm taper crimp and didn't know the die was also capable of roll crimping.
Doing it separately is certainly safer. I don't go nuts on the crimp, mostly just taking the bell at the mouth. Plus I have done it so many times that I have everything dialed in. That's why I usually do it in one go. But I wouldn't hesitate when I feel better to do it separately.
