Hey just wondering do you 300 whisper shooters crimp them when you load?

Nope. Neck tension is more than enough to hold the bullet in place.

I crimp all my Whisper loads. Even for my bolt gun. I get better consistency (ie, lower ES & SD numbers) and better accuracy with the crimped loads vs the same load w/o the crimp. I know it is counter to the "conventional" wisdom. As always, YMMV.
