I just use the regular seating die to crimp. I put a resized, non-expanded case in the shellholder, tighten down the die until it touches, then go just a *little* more. (very little more). The mouth of the case (no bullet) is just slightly rolled in. Since the cast bullet is going to swell the case when it's seated, this ends up being a medium crimp and it doesn't overwork the brass. (I'm shooting maximum loads using Blue Dot, Herco, and AA#7 with 158 grain SWC's and RNFP's)
