You need to seat them until the mouth is lined up with the center of the cannular (crimp groove).
Just keep turning the knob on top down until they are seated to the correct depth.
Once that is done, back the knob on top out as far as it will go.
Now loosen the lock ring and turn it almost to the top of the die.
Raise the ram all the way up with the shell in the shell holder.
Turn the die back in until it makes contact with the shell.
Lower the shell and and turn the die in a little. Raise the shell. This will now be applying some crimp.
Keep doing this little by little until you achieve the crimp you want.
Once you have a good looking crimp, lower the lock ring to the press and tighten the lock ring.
Now raise the shell back up into the die and turn the knob on top down until it touches the bullet.
Your die is now set to seat and crimp in one operation.
