[QUOTE="QuietTexan, post: 2608223, member: 116181"] Agree, and bullets CAN be deformed pretty easily with the FCD. I use the BB instructions for monos and adjust the amount of the crimp specifically with Hammers and their PDR bands. When it comes to cup and core I tend to use an 1/8th and that's pretty much it. One time I tried to adjust upwards just to see what I could do with the die - by 1/2 the bullets were deforming and at 3/4 the bullet was so distorted it wouldn't drop into a seater anymore. Would be a very bad deal for chamber pressure. [/QUOTE]
