I just use the bullet seating die.  I turn the die down into the press to firmly impact an empty case, go 1/4 turn more on the die.  Then I set the bullet seating depth to just the bottom of the cannelure on the bullet.  Turn the die in 1/2 turn more and I get a good crimp with the case mouth at the top of cannelure.
