You are missing the part the explains if you want to crimp in another step, back the bullet seater out like 3-4 turns.

READ THE DIRECTIONS. Do you see a pattern forming?
This is correct. The pacesetter die set works just like that. You most likely think that you have the Lee "Deluxe Rifle Set". The seating die on the pacesetter set has a built in crimp function. Back out that seating and set the die up as per the instructions and gradually run your seating in on the first bullet until you get the OAL that you desire. Good luck.
