Quite frankly, the amount of "adequate" crimp can vary wildly depending on the power of the load and the gun in which the round is fired.
Some years ago I loaded several hundred .38s for use in my Model 19. Not a stout load, about 4.2 grains of WW231 and a 158-gr. LSWC. I didn't crimp them, just relied on neck tension.
I had absolutely no problems with those rounds.
However, a friend went to the range with me and ended up shooting a bunch in his Model 37, a smaller and lighter gun which, because of its weight, recoiled a lot more.
In fact, it recoiled to the point where the bullets were jumping and tying up the 37.
I suspect if those loads were put into one of the new uberlight Scandium guns that the bullets in the rounds not being fired would actually go down range and hit the target. Well, maybe not...
Essentially, for any cartridge, my goal has always been to use the minimum amount of crimp necessary to hold the bullets in place in the gun in which I'm going to be shooting them.
When I'm loading some of my 1550 fps. 125-gr. .357 Mag. loads, though, they have a SUBSTANTIAL crimp because they're snappy as all get out and I'm going to be shooting them in both the Model 19 and the 28. Were I shooting them in just my 28, I wouldn't need as much crimp.
Anyway, the point remains... Crimp is relative.
