Not me...  I only crimp my handgun rounds for some reason.  I always looked at it like if there is a crimping cannelure, I crimp.  If not, I dont.
By my honorable conduct as a hunter let me give a good example and teach new hunters principles of honor, so that each new generation can show respect for their god, other hunters and the animals, and enjoy the dignity of the hunt.

Calling an illegal alien an 'undocumented immigrant' is like calling a drug dealer an 'unlicensed pharmacist'.

Sometimes but not always.  If for a caliber that I also own an autoloader for, then usually yes.  I used to ALWAYS crimp for everything but am moving gradually to the non-crimp mode.

I havent been crimping my 300wsm. First few I did, second batch and beyond, no crimp.
I do what the voices in my tackle box tell me to.
