[QUOTE="Ccctennis, post: 1045270, member: 68315"] I started over and reset all the dies. Anything I do with fcd is just junk. No matter where I set the die adjustment 3/4 of the rounds don't even go more than half way into the case gauge. Ditched fcd went back to seater/crimp die. Every brass case pass test after sizing. Belled to .383-.384 Seated and crimped to 1.10 coal and crimped to .377 1/4 of dummy rounds would not pass gauge test by the slightest amount the case head is not flush with case gauge. Not a big deal with my guns as those would probably work properly. But I can't guarantee that with other family members. The real challenge is I can't crank out 500 rounds if 125 of them won't psa gauge test. [/QUOTE]
