gsparesa,
Your crimp looks to be very stout. If you take a close look and see the flattened part of the case in the cannelure you will see what I mean.

Now, you may need that much, you may not. One thing I will tell you though, that is exactly how I crimp my 44Mag load when I use jacketed bullets.

Are your cases going to wear out prematurely? YEP! And along with that your crimp will also, keep bullets from jumping, cause your powder to get a good start at burning and cause your loads to be much more consistent across the chronograph.

All of those things will keep you from sticking a bullet and creating a situation where you can blow up your gun! (In regards to the previous posts in order to be clear! )
