The "more or less crimp" is inevitable with cases of various length, but like mikld said, if you're using a 3 die set go ahead & upgrade to a 4th die by ordering a 9mm Lee FCD die, which taper crimps only. The adjustment knob on it let's you tweek the crimp on the fly for the cases that are off more than the others. It'll be even more helpful whenever you load jacketed bullets. Don't forget to adjust the seating/crimp die to "only seat" if you go to a 4th die.
