Crimping a bullet without a crimp groove is not possible. Since you probably can't find a taper crimp die like those used for semiautos, you can use your standard roll crimp die and not try hard to crimp.Test at the range to see if the bullets hold in place during firing.

I suggest that your next bullets need to have a crimp groove.
