Better yet do this.
Take a sized piece of brass and place it in the shell holder.
Loosen the lock ring on the seating die and back it out of the press about 5-6 turns.
Remove the seating stem assembly.
Raise the ram with the sized case in the shell holder.
Screw the seating die into the press until you feel it contact the case mouth.
Unscrew the die one full turn and lock it down with the locking ring.

This will set up your seating die to remove the crimp feature.
