Profile crimp dies taper AND roll crimp.  It is just a light taper.  I use them in all of my revolver rounds.
357 Maximum, what the 357 Magnum was in the beginning.

"Wondering how much crimp the Redding Crimpping dies put on a bullet."
 
A crimp die, any of them, will do much more crimping than is needed, how much any of them do is up to the user by how he adjusts his die.
Common sense is an uncommon virtue
