Unscrew the die, unscrew the seating stem.

Put a case in the die and raise the ram all the way.

Screw in the die until it touches the case.

Back the die out 1/2 turn.

Lower the ram.

Place a bullet on the case.

Screw in the seating stem some.

Raise the ram.

Measure OAL and adjust seating stem until correct.

Now unscrew seating stem.

Place correct OAL round in press.

Raise ram.

Screw die in until it contacts the case.

Lower ram.

Screw die in 1/4 turn.

Raise ram.

Verify crimp. Adjust until correct crimp is applied.

Now, with die adjusted, cartridge present and ram fully raised into die, adjust seating stem down until it contacts bullet.

You should now have a correct crimp and length.
