Yes, X dies work, but you have to follow the instructions to a T, as has been stated.

And I also always crimped my lever loads, even if I might not have too. Lee Factory crimp dies are the best $10 anyone can spend when reloading for a round. You may not have to use them, but it never hurts. And with the Lee dies you do not have to have a cannulure. Just use a firm, not crushing crimp stroke.
