Just bell slightly, jacketed bullets won't shave very easily if you "under bell" the case. On the crimp, just hold the loaded round up to light, you can see any flare that is left, it should look straight (or ever so slightly crimped down, which you can back off of once you get it to feed).
Also, you should get some check weights for your scale to make sure you are actually getting 4.4gr of Titegroup. That is a max load according to Hodgdon, so the recoil should be a nice sharp pop.
Also, the OAL in the load spec is the MINIMUM. No problem loading longer for feed reliability, right up to the point the gun starts failing to go into battery.
Good luck, have fun.
