I know what a roll crimp and taper crimp is but what is a profile crimp? Lee sells factory crimp dies. What are these other two?

Factory crimp looks a little like it was done with a pair of crimping pliers. In the right place with the correct pressure of course. Factory crimp is the only thing that works in my 400 Corbon.
