The seating die has an insert that has a flat botton vs. the recessed bottom for Flat Points etc.

There is a pin that is pulled out of teh seatind stem and the insert swapped out. I use my 550 w/ case feeder for my 52.

You just need to swap the bullet seat stem for the one that is perfectly flat across the bottom. Probably no changes are necessary to your crimp, but a light roll crimp for revolvers, or a taper crimp for S&W Model 52's is ideal. Be sure you are flaring case mouths at least .010" to be sure you don't shave anything off the sides of the bullet

when seating. :ph34r:
