Anything goes in a gas gun, it's gets crimped. That's always been the way I've done it.
I haven't crimped any of the rounds I've reloaded for my AR15s or my AR10. So far I haven't run into any issues or seen any negative side effects.
You could always try some crimped and some uncrimped to see what your gun likes best. If you have a chronograph you could also see if your velocities change between the two sets.

I to don't crimp for my AR's, if you have good neck tension there's no need to crimp
I’ve done it both ways. Having said that I crimp for my ar and don’t for my r700.
I’ve never had an issue either way.

I do not crimp. I get my best accuracy with .003" neck tension.
I also found NO crimp in my 9/45/40 and 357 magnum results in better accuracy for me .
But most of my projectiles are lead.
I have never experienced bullet setback.
Correction my 1911 Taurus and other 1911 hand guns will push the bullet deeper into the case when it chambers.
I still do not crimp those as it does not matter as it will still set them back.
I have that design.

I load for my AR10 and I have done it with crimping and without crimping. I got better accuracy without crimping. I’m also not rapped firing the rifle. If I was to rapped fire. I would try it both ways and watch for pressure and accuracy issues. take your comparator and cycle a couple of rounds and check OAL. thats the only way to find out to see if the round moves
