Hornady Lock-N-Load Rifle Bullet Feeder - Manual (Page 13)

Set the bullet seat depth by lowering the press ram,
threading the Seat Adjust Screw (42) into the die and
raising the press ram again until the desired seating
depth/cartridge length is obtained. Make sure the Crimp
Adjust Screw (46) does not move when adjusting the
seating depth.
Note: Do not, at this time, tighten the Seat Adjust Lock
Ring (44).
Crimp Adjust (if desired)
With the cartridge in the Shell Plate, raise the press ram to
the top of its stroke.
Loosen the Crimp Adjust Lock Ring (47) several turns while
holding the Crimp Adjust Screw (46)
Hold the Seat Adjust Screw (42) from turning and thread
the Crimp Adjust Screw into the die until resistance is felt.
This resistance is, again, the case starting to crimp.
Continue setting crimp by lowering the press ram, holding
the Seat Adjust Screw (42), threading the Crimp Adjust
Screw (46) into the die in 1/8 turn increments, and raising
the press ram again until the proper crimp is obtained.
NOTE: Excessive crimp may cause case bulging or bullet
deformation.
