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.

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.
