I removed my crimp for a small batch of test ammo. My group sizes more than doubled. IIRC, I was getting like 1.5 to 1.75 MOA without the crimp. I honestly didn't expect to see any difference, but it killed my accuracy.
Reducing the expander ball is a good idea. Those things are horrible for rifle ammo. Neck runout, case stretching, etc. Taking a few thowie off seems like it'd lessen case damage. I run a separate neck expander die that sizes the neck on the down stroke. Much less neck stretch/damage/runout.
