If your rounds don't chamber or your crimp is so stout that the bullet is being deformed you need to adjust your regular dies.
I can't see a need for the factory crimp die in handguns. I don't think the diameter of the bullets matter in the crimping operation as long as they chamber.
I have a Kahr 40 S&W that needed .400" diameter bullets and a S&W that needs .401". I bought two bullet sizing dies and treat them as separate calibers.
