Been watching this thread and need to ask....

Crimp is needed because the bullet is lead and it is lubed and there is something to crimp in to?
Currently I am loading 158 grain Berry's plated flat nose for revolver.
Using 4.8 grains of Unique, I have yet to have one creep in the case due to the physics of firing a revolver. I suspect bullet tension is sufficient to prevent bullet movement within the case on plated bullets.
Some of the posters state to ALWAYS crimp .38 spl. However we are not talking about high powered rounds here and besides there is NOTHING to crimp in to on a Berry's plated .357 158 grain flat nose.
