Clearly two different issues here. One is easy; just remove the crimp. Two is also easy. Per Tuzo, just screw the sizing die down a little more. I'm reloading on a Dillon 650, and I have to "cam over" the sizing die, in order to get proper headspace. I'm using a Wilson case gage for setting up the sizing die.

When I was loading on a Lee Loadmaster, I found that the design of the press/shellplate precluding my proper bumping of the .223 brass, in order to get proper headspace, using Lee dies.

I use the RCBS X die now, for .223 reloading, but have loaded several thousand rounds using a Lee sizing die.
