When using a 3 die set for loading Hornady XTP hollow-points in 40S&W, I have to adjust the seating die higher to avoid deforming the tips of the bullets because the crimper grips the case too tightly to allow the bullets to be seated properly. I'm buying a dedicated crimp die to avoid having to re-adjust everything 2-3 times just to finish the rounds. I have no problems loading round-nose bullets with the S/C dies.
