Do you have a Speer reloading manual? They have instruction in the book. The capsules, once the shot is poured in and the cap snapped on, they insert into the case just like a bullet. If you don't have a manual you should get one, it will have averything you need to know about reloading in it.

i do have a manual but it does not explain everything, i know how to load the cap with beebees and i size the shell and hand slip the cap in do i need to crimp or just hand slide . thanks mike

Yes, they do need a crimp to hold them in the case. Be carefull adjusting the crimp, a little at a time, too much crimp and the plastic could break. You'll probably end up crimping about the same as a normal bullet. And the cap end goes inside the case too. I've never broke the plastic cup and never had one come apart either. Just be carefull, it's not rocket science.
