Default crimping and accuracy.

To crimp or not to crimp, that is the question! Anybody like crimping their bullets at the cannelure on bullets like Hornady and do you get good hunting accuracy with them? I,ve been trying a load with the 150 gr. RN bullets from Hornady in .308 and 45.5 grs. of Varget. This load shoots an average of 1 in. at 100 yards and I feel satisfied that it would be a good hunting load for whitetail so far, what do you all think? The handloading manual says for hunting it is best to crimp and full length resize the case for the safest use. Thanks for your ideas and feedback.
