I've come to the conclusion for my ARs that I will crimp everything, using a lee fcd. that extra hold seems to help my MVs.
Haven't made a clear decision as to bolt actions. Most I think I'm just setting them in; but I think I have a couple that I crimp for. For a given bullet I'm just setting up a consistent load, is all.
The AR they might still shift some, but I'm thinking they don't do it as much, maybe not at all. Haven't really done the cycle them in and then pull out to recheck the OAL.
You might just want to decide if they feel too "loose" in their seating without it... or try both over a chrony and see if there's any difference.
