Just leave enough paper over the edge that about 1/3 of the bullet base is exposed in the "hole", as you roll the patch on, pick the bullet up and using thumb pressure just roll the edge over the bullet. Should look sort of like a shotgun crimp when you're done.
Thing I don't like about dry patching those base folds can come undone rather quickly when seating the bullet in a tight case. Keep plenty of extra patches on hand as you load, you'll probably need to re wrap 2 or 3 out of 50.
Be sure to chamfer the inside of the case mouth , makes loading and shooting with accuracy much easier.
