I have loaded SST but not in 6.5. If you really want to seat and crimp the trick is to make sure all cases are trimmed to exactly the same length. This will make sure the crimps are even. Setting the seating dies to crimp at the same time is quite easy. Set the crimp first using an empty case. You can always open the neck back up with the neck or fl sizing die if u need to. The lock the die and adjust depth with the seating stem.

Personally, the only bullets I have ever crimped were in heavy recoiling rifles. If u don't crimp u can completely ignore the cannaleure and where it falls. Just seat the bullets to the COAL. U want.

Best of luck.
