I crimp mine. If your are using a powder such as WIN 296 you need to crimp it for proper iginition.

I crimp all my straight wall cases. I have not tried, but I am not sure they would chamber without some kind of crimp since you expand the case mouth with the expanding die.

crimping will raise pressure

as long as you don't exceed max pressure, I have alays preferred a taper to a roll. more consistent neck tension
