Thanks for the advice. I guess that's what makes reloading fun. Experimenting and adjusting.

The LFCD is Lee Facory Crimp Die, AKA taper crimp. It also has a sizing ring to make sure the rounds will chamber.
On my Lee dies the roll crimp is applied by the bullet seating die. For light revolver loads I back the seating die out until zero roll crimp is applied. Then adjust the LFCD so a slight crimp is applied just to make sure all the flare has been removed.
