If I am understanding your description, the cannelure exceeds the case mouth, so if the bullet where seated deeper everything would be correct. Well, seat the bullet so the cannelure is within the case mouth, make sure the OAL is not below minimum length and go have fun. LD has a good point, forget crimping if your shooting a bolt gun.
