I've done a roll crimp with the Lee Factory Crimp die on my .357 magnum.  However I learned real quickly that this only works if you crimp over the crimp groove.

I am thinking of having a Lee Factory Crimp die for my rifle.  Since those use a collet to "squeeze" the crimp I kinda think they'd be pretty mild on PP.
