Hold a loaded round up to a good light and look down the side of the case. If any of the flaring is still present you will be able to see it. You'll have to crimp enough to remove all of the flare plus just a little more. Start with a light crimp and increase a little at a time. If you take the barrel out of the gun and use it as a gauge your rounds should drop in all the way and fall out easily. I also use Lee dies. I've used the standard seat and crimp die and also the taper crimp die and had no problems. On an ACP round you will have to crimp to get reliable feeding. Another thing to consider is overall length. Don't be afraid to experiment with the length as most every pistol is different. 1.250 is a good starting point.
