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.

I agree that the one on the right will likely not move much further inward, but as I stated, I loaded these for my SBH where I had no issues with bullet 'pull'...
I then fired some in my Marlin to see what would happen...The picture is the result of either 3 or 4 fired rounds (don't remember now)...
I only posted this pic as a reminder that it is not just 'pull' that needs to be addressed with .44 Mag...If loading for a tubular magazine, one should also crimp to prevent setback...
I have now stopped using any jacketed bullets but Hornady as they are .430", and do not move in or out on me with the tension (and crimp) provided by my RCBS carbide dies...
My SBH and the 1894 both love them, also...
