I’m new to reloading, I loaded some 35 Whelen rounds, 54 grains of Reloader15, kind of light but it’s 10% less than max 60 grains in the book.
Using 200 grain Hornady interlock SP.

I made only light crimps, it that satisfactory?

Typically, no crimp is required for bolt action rifles, heavy rifles excepted.
.

So, is it a hazardous that I crimped them?
Will it cause too much pressure?

Go to the Lee web site and read about using the Lee factory crimp die...very useful with lever rifles and tube magazines...no ill effect with bolt rifles..only another die/step...heavy recoil rifles recommended..length of case will not buckle case with lee crimp die...I found no increase in accuracy using a crimp die in 223 varmint rig..

If you follow recipes from a standard load manual, crimping should not be a problem. Even then I would inspect the rounds fired looking for signs of excessive pressure. The reason to crimp is to hold the bullet in place during recoil and shipping. I never crimp bolt action rifle loads. I do crimp autoloader ammo.

You're quite welcome.

Crimping will not affect your loads safety-wise. It will add a variant in neck tension. Heavy calibers (over 375) are typically crimped to protect the rounds in the magazine from the effects of recoil, like shortening the OAL.
