+1 on all of the above comments...
You really need to go back to the first steps....read the manuals with your press...and double check your recipes to make sure you're using the right components. I don't think there is any question you have a primer seating depth problem ...and maybe aggravated if you're not using the correct primer.
Wrinkling the brass - is clearly a setup issue on your dies / and another reason why bullet seating and final crimp should be done in 2 stations / or in 2 different operations.
.454 Casull is an easy case to reload...I've used CCI small rifle primers and both Hodgdon H110 and Hodgdon Titegroup with primarily Federal brass - with Jacketed bullets.
