I back the seating stem way out.I lower the ram and set a bullet on the case and raise the ram then screw seater stem in until I achieve proper length. I back the stem out a half turn and then agjust the die body to set the crimp. Lock the die body ring down and then adjust the seating stem to just touch the bullet. That makes all the processes done in the upper section of the die body.
