I simply use the seat and taper crimp die from my 9mm Luger die set when loading bullets that are smooth sided .

A light roll crimp can be used the problem is it must be adjusted to hold the bullet without deforming the bullet or cutting the powder coating .

Loading is easier in revolver ammo if a proper revolver bullet with a crimp groove is used ... the smooth sided , auto-pistol bullets can be used but you have to seat and crimp them like you are loading auto-pistol (9mm) ammo .

Seating a bullet out farther will lessen pressure , no danger there .

Load a few test rounds , load 6 , fire 5 and see if your crimp holds the bullet in place .
