Did your squibs happen on the first few rounds or last ones in the cylinder?
To check your crimps next time at the range fire 2 or 3 rounds and inspect the remaining few for "growth". Inspect the fifth and six ones before shooting also. Don't be surprised to see a lot more cannelure than when you first crimped the rounds.
After I thought I master the art of crimping on my 44 Mag my 19 ounce Bulldog snubbie taught me that it was even a better inertia puller. Even a proper charge may not ignite reliably if the crimp is giving up it's grip before the round gets to firing position.
