Serious question:
Absolutely every other thing being equal, what does a crimp do?
Let's say I am reloading .357 mag. Same brass. Same primers. Same OAL. Same powder charge with the same powder. Same bullet type and weight. Shot from the same gun (tube fed lever action).
If I crimp, what actually changes other than the bullet being less likely to be pushed into the case by recoil in the tube during firing?
