I'm confused about crimping a bullet for 45LC.
I have a Ruger SRH and it was my understanding that for revolver rounds, if a jacketed or plated bullet is used to reload it should have a cannelure or if a lead bullet is used it should have a crimp groove. Both would get a roll crimp when reloading.
I've read postings on various reloading forums and some people mentioned they will use a plated or jacketed bullet without a cannelure and then simply taper crimp it.
Is it acceptable to taper crimp a non-cannelured or non-crimp-grooved bullet for a 45LC?
