For a bolt gun with cast, the crimp is mostly just to take the flare off the mouth. The other function is to resist set-back if you are loading from the magazine. (Even hand-cycling from the mag in a bolt gun can cause set-back, because the lead bullets just do not hold as tight in the necks as jacketed.) If you are single-loading directly into the chamber, you are fine with just taking the flare off.
