Gripmaker,
You are most welcome. Most bullet seating dies will produce a roll crimp. They can be adjusted to give no crimp to a heavy crimp.
To set the die to seat and crimp in one operation........
1.) Place an empty case into the shellholder and push the press handle down to raise it to the utmost position.
2.) Insert the seating die in the press and turn it down until you feel it touch the top of the case, then back it off 1/4 turn and lock it in place.
3.) Back off the die seating stem and insert a loaded case into the press.
4.) Adjust the seating stem down until the bullet is seated to the proper depth.
5.) Back off the seating stem at least 1 turn and run the loaded cartridge back into the die.
6.) Turn the seating die back down to touch the case then turn the die down 1/8 turn at a time until the desired crimp is reached.
7.) With the case in the crimped position in the die, turn the seating stem down to firmly touch the bullet.
The die is now set to seat the bullet and crimp in the same operation.
NOTE:
That being said, there can be certain bullet / crimp combinations that are better achieved by seating and crimping in a separate operation wether using the standard seating die to seat the bullets first then crimping with the seating stem backed out or with the Lee FCD.
