Your problem IS; your die is not turned down far enough. Okay, I know it can't go any further down the way you have it set up. Take the lock ring completly off the die, then screw the die all the way through the tool head, until you can put the lock ring on FROM THE BOTTOM! Now you will be able to push the shell far enough into the die for it to be crimped. BTW that's how mine is set up in my dillon 650, it wrks VERY well!

This die is similar to other lee FCD dies for bottle necked rifle shells, but the collet is NOT visible from the top. The aluminum cap is just there to hold it all together, it does nothing to adjust the crimp, that's done by screwing the whole die down further.
