Default RE: .45 acp: do I need to buy a crimp die

The taper crimp is generally preferred over the roll crimp by the IPSC/IDPA shooters. Normal taper crimp is .466 to .468. Any more and you are swaging the bullet to a smaller diameter. And the taper crimp die is generally utilized as a last step in the reloading process.
