I agree with others. You’re seating to deep. That first grove below the top of the bullet has a nice curve to it. You should roll your crimp into that.
You need to bell your cases just enough to start the bullet. A good way to set your dies is to set the die high in the press and just seat the bullet until the top of the case is in line with the center of that curved grove of the bullet. Then pull the seater as high as you can and then crimp the case. When you have it set, then rase the loaded case back into the die and slowly lower the seater till it makes good contact with the bullet.
That will get you very close.
For lead I use the following bullet from Penn. I get the hard bullets he produces and have pushed them out of a 44 mag rifle over 1500 FPS using H110 with little leading.
