Looks as if the die is comepletely out of adjustment.

First seat the bullet with out the die crimping mechinizim in play ,once ya have your depth set screw the seater up so it does`nt seat it deeper then adjust the crimp.

After the crimp is set then screw the seater back down to touch the bullet.
 
overcrimped... I soak my "screw up" primers in ATF or some other leftover oil before disposing. Definitely pull the bullet and salvage at least the powder if you can. If you didn't totally wreck the bullet that even can be reused.
 
It has been proven that primers are almost indistructable. Oils, water and other fluids will not kill them 100%. In fact it was proven by one of our elustrious members that after soaking in various fluids that 80% still fired. The only way to insure that a primer will not go off is to hit it with a firing pin of a firearm.

Get an "error Eraser"...
