Hodgdon lists 24 .30 caliber cartridges. The cannelure (proper name for crimp ring) has to be a bit of a compromise. When you consider all the manufacturers and how they may target certain different segments of the shooting community and all the different bullet weights and shapes available in each caliber, it's easy to see why standardization will never happen.
