No. I don't use the crimp to hold the bullet in, use the case for that just crimp it to let the bullet feed better and close the bell. I only bell just enough to start the bullet to seat so it goes in tight.

Hope this makes sense. RCBS dies did the crimp and seat in one step the Dillon does it in two...so I am learning how to use this die now. It looks good and cycles good and slides in and out so I am pretty sure I am ok but wanted an expert to speak on this. I will try to shoot off the first 50 rounds I made up to see before I make anymore. Hopefully soon!
