Sounds like you may need a copy of The ABCs of Reloading or Lyman's 49th Edition Reloading Handbook. I'm no fan of the Lee Factory Crimp Die, so I recommend you use a regular taper crimp die. The term "crimp" when applied to semi-auto ammo is misleading. You don't crimp the case, you just straighten out or remove any flare from the case. Remove the barrel from the gun and use it for testing seating depth and "de-flaring". Cartridge should drop into chamber and stop, with a "thunk", as the case hits the end of the chamber. Called the "Thunk test"...
