A roll crimp will take less space. How old is the gun you're loading for? What kind of roll crimper are you using?

The gun was made circa 1900 and has been checked out for shooting but has a Damascus barrel so Black Powder only. I was able to buy some ready made BP shells and they fired fine. I'll post some pictures tomorrow of what is going on. There is room to push the crimp down but it won't go. Could be because I am using an old Lee hand loader and not a press. I'm thinking of getting a press. The Lee loader does make a nice roll crimp, but it doesn't stay in place. When you see the pictures, you'll see. I was able to get some paper hulls, and they roll crimp just fine. Thing is I have all these primed plastic hulls and would like to load them. I suspect a good press will do the job.
Thanks to all who have replied. Any additional suggestions are welcome.
