If your loader has the short taper die you should be able to pull it out of the loader once the components are loaded and roll crimp , them place it back in and push the loaded round out ( maybe ) not sure if PW will push a roll crimped shell out without messing up the crimp , as they designed for fold crimping . It is worth a try , although it will be a slow process .

Or you can , as suggested before , resize with supersizer to the point where the hull will slide in the die freely , ad your components and slide the hull out by hand and roll crimp.

Or , as roll crimping does not reduce pressure enough to worry about , you could find a load that will fit with a fold crimp at the pressure you want and go that way , probably your best option .

Hope this helps

Forget about roll crimping with the PW - it's not made for it. You want to roll crimp, buy a Mec. As stated, you should be able to find a load that's low enough without roll crimping. Most people roll crimp because they think it looks cool or period correct - and I'm one of them - but not to lower pressures. Granted, Sherman Bell has 10ga loads that have been pressure tested with a roll crimp, but that's about the only time I'd think someone would feel it's necessary to roll crimp. Good luck.
