One other point, I don't believe anyone has mentioned......the 45 acp headspaces on the cartridge mouth, unlike a revolver cartridge that uses the rim. So a proper taper crimp is very important, if you crimp the 45 acp like a revolver cartridge it will cause misfires due to the loaded round being pushed forward upon firing pin strike.
I have always found it better to seat and crimp in separate steps, allows more control on crimping and more accurate seating depth.

ps
Rob Leahy is 100% correct the 41 Mag is awesome, everyone should own several : )
