Ok so I'm trying my own hand loads. Using a Lee load all to crimp. The crimps are almost always not level at top. Just ever so slightly. Is this ok to fire? Will it cause patterning problem?(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190903/60d30389de917cc7b8bfc33ca4ecffa4.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190903/58863cbe45dae2f6336e87e0eeffb306.jpg)

No worries. Whatsoever.
I don't think it will matter at all....
Mine does the same thing, I used to load mine for sporting clays and they never gave me a problem.
Are you loading your own turkey loads or just regular loads in general ?
Good to go!

Yes. I'm doing shells for my O/U turkey setup. TSS in top and I'm going to do a 6 or 7 spreader load in other barrel. Probably do some hog loads. Don't do enough duck or bird hunting to do much else

I clearly do not know everything but all the TSS hand loads I have seen have used a roll crimp, not sure if that will make a difference.

Well I asked 2 different people I got load info from and they said not a problem. It will be a while before I can test but I will post when I do

There is also a thread on gobbler nation fold vs roll tss where it is discussed

Okay, I was not trying to be a know it all, I would have just hated to see a bunch of time and money thrown away if it was indeed a mistake.

I will. Guns getting dipped. I was told crimp was fine just back off the charge by 1/2 grain (Hal load)
Think I got crimp better on Lee. The plastic base was giving a little when pushed handle all way down. Just used other hand to push straight down from top as well

That one looks great to me. And, it appears to be a 3" shell. Unlike roll crimped 3" 20 ga. shells, your star-crimped ones should cycle just fine in Beretta family semi-autos. How many ounces of shot?

Ouch! Now I understand your original concern. Not sure I'd want to be near it either if it fires. :o
Looks like your ready to kill some paper!
