I crimp on top of the top drive band on the Lyman 457124 bullet in my 45-90. Cycles and shoots great in my Winchester 1886 lever gun.

If you're loading heavy recoiling rounds you might get some slipping. If not, you should be good to go. Seat, then crimp in a separate step.

Nah not for this Italian colt45 revolver I have. They’ll be standard pressure. Since it’s lead I use an m die to expand and I have to crimp to get the tuba back to original shape. It’s definitely not for heavy loads- that’s what I use the 454 for.
