I always bell the case just enough to allow the bullet to enter the case without peeling off any lead when using cast bullets.
There is nothing wrong with crimping the case lip slightly into the lead. I do it often. I have experimented with heavy & light crimps and found group size varies proportional to the crimp. I have also taper crimped. I have found that when using some powders, you get the best performance with heavy crimps.
When shooting cast bullets thru the magnum revolvers, heavy crimping is paramount or the recoil will unseat the bullets.
If the bullet has a cannelure, I usually try to crimp inside it, However, this may not always be the case. Best to experiment & determine what is best for your gun.
