Salmoneye - I'll add fuel to the fire...
To prevent 'jump' and aid in ignition, not only do .44 Mag rounds need to be crimped for handguns, but they also need to be crimped to prevent bullet setback in heavy recoiling rounds that are in tube magazines...
While I don't care about the deformation of the bullet, I do worry about the setback of the bullet on the right (and left to lesser extent) after firing a few rounds with these furtherr in the tube of my Marlin...
This load did not 'pull' in my Super Blackhawk, but they sure moved in the 1894...

I think the crimp position on the far right is better and has a chance of providing a mechanical limit to how far the bullet can move back. The rounds on the left appear to rely on neck tension. Factory rounds I see leave the crimp groove barely visible.
