What to do with extra 550 hole?

I bought a separate crimp die. I planned on just running my 3-die Hornady setup, but after reading about the benefits of separate seat/crimp dies in the Dillon manual (and after loading a few hundred rounds with the nice circular dent on my projectile from the combined seat/crimp die) I got a separate die. My OAL is MUCH more consistent, and no more dents from the bullet seater on my projectiles. I think my separate crimp die was about $20 on Amazon.com.

Also, you can run a powder cop, but it's awkward and unnecessary. You have to run it where you would normally seat the bullet, so you'd have to reach through the press to place the bullet. Besides, in station 3 you can see right down into the case and check powder anyway.
