I recently backed off the crimp station on my 375 in an attempt to get a load to close up properly. All I accomplished was getting so far off the correct depth and taper adjustment that I don't know how to get back.

The crimp was adjusted very close when I got the machine, so I don't have any experience doing it and the manual is no help.

Anyone have any idiot proof ways to get to a close setting from scratch?

I picked up a 375 somewhere along the way, but since I have an old 800B I really haven't used it. However, it is easy to adjust the crimp setting. Realize I am not looking at one as I write, but just back off the nut that holds it in place and screw it down a bit, try to crimp a loaded (to the crimp stage, of course) shell. If it doesn't crimp right for you, back it down some more, or if you have heavy resistance, meaning you've gone to far, back it off a bit. It might take 2 or 3 tries and/or shells but it won't take long. When it's right, lock the nut back down and that's it. Usually one setting is right for most hulls, but sometimes, if you're loading, say paper, you might want to change it a bit, since they need a deeper crimp than plastic.
