"haven't crimped a single round. It hasn't caused me any problems, my ammo is accurate once I figure out what the rifle likes" steveNChunter
As GP100man said, "If it ain`t broke ,don`t fix it !!"
I crimp some, not all, of my .375 H&H loads (Ruger Number 1 so no set back) and all of my heavy/stout loads in .44 mag.
I don't crimp any others. Neck tension holds well. None of the powders I use require a hard crimp to burn properly. And I have never had any problems.
My standard answer is to test (what ever) both ways and see what works best for you.
Always error on the side of safety,
