I have loaded and fired about 600 rounds of 224 Valkyrie. NO real issues with anything. I have not crimped primers or bullets.
Questions:
Should I be crimping my primers? If so, why?
I don’t plan to crimp my bullets because my neck tension is pretty darn good.

No you should never crimp a primer. Plus I don't know of anyone who even makes a tool for any home reloader to do such a job. The only people that DO crimp primers are because of military contracts. It's some specification from the procurement arm of the military which could be there for a number of reasons. That said the answer is still 100% a solid no.

Thank you for confirming my suspicion.
