From the Lee rifle bullet seating die instructions:

"Screw the bullet seating die in until you feel it
touch the case mouth. If no crimp is desired,

back the die out 1/2 turn. If a crimp is desired,
turn the die in 1/4 turn. The bullet must have a
crimping groove or it cannot be crimped. Case
must be trimmed to same length to provide a
uniform crimp."

Lee dies do have a taper crimp. That said, I've never used it. I, on advice of many more experienced loaders here, have always the Lee Factory Crimp die (included with the Pacesteer set for only a little more) and they were right.

So I see - buried on the .30/30 RGB page. A prior rifle die page still says the bullet seater has a roll crimp and the die instructions still read as I quoted above. Good to know. The FCD is still the best solution in my opinion. I find the roll crimp a good tool for buckling cases.
