Don, I'm not sure there is a clear consensus about even THAT. When you look at the 45 caliber Keith SWCs (#452423 and #454424) both offer a pretty healthy crimp groove for those so inclined. Then #454190 has NO crimp groove, and Lyman's doctrine with these old BP designs is to seat the base on a dense column of BP and tie things down with a roll crimp over the ogive. #311008, #401043, and #427098 follow suit. Not a lot of rhyme or reason to it.
I come at the crimping question from whatever direction the cartridge and its arm need it to. It is not a "one-size-fits-all" subject.
