Run the roll crimper on the shell lip for a few seconds right before you apply pressure. It heats up the hull and starts to melt it and gives a much more consistent roll crimp.

I have 2 Sizemasters, one in 16 and one in 12, and I use the roll crimper more. I like being able to make the hull fit the load instead of the other way around. I do use the presses to resize and prime when I'm not loading new hulls.

If youre just concerned about the crimp then invest in a cheap Lee press and use it for the star crimp....I find my loads stay more consistent with the star crimp
When I need expert advice I tend to talk to myself The older I get the better I used to be

Seriously.... many of us understand that it's not high volume... but get a real press. Otherwise it's amatuer hour.
No government employees were harmed in the making of this mess.

A little 3-1 oil around the end of each shell with a q-tip helps a lot. I’d try the press again and take it slow. You don’t have to make the entire crimp at one time. Go a little ways then look at it. When I make ugly crimps, it’s because I pressed down too much or let it spin too long. Good luck!!
