[QUOTE="Svashtar, post: 1853200, member: 112241"] Good tip on leaving the rifle brass a bit longer before using the FCD. The only rounds I don’t run through the FCD are .44 mag, .45 ACP and .45 LC loaded with hard cast bullets, because the die can reduce the diameter to a point where they can cause leading. At least that’s what I was told, as well as the idea that post-sizing lead can screw up neck tension on the loaded round; so I only use the FCD on rounds loaded with FMJ or plated bullets. Lee does make those same dies without the carbide post-sizing ring, calling them “collet style FCD’s” and I need to look into those. [/QUOTE]
