[QUOTE="Old Rooster, post: 2149425, member: 108576"] QuietTexan I rely on the die crimp on all handgun ammo and have since the early 70's but I don't always notice a crimp ring all around on some rifle rounds so that's why I went to the FCD but as long as you have confidence in your setup then go with it. I did inherit a roll crimp die for 45acp and use it. The chances of setback bad enough to blow up a gun is low but even after many many years of reloading I had a 300 savage in an older Remington 700 classic suffer from slight bullet setback but I had used a sharpie to mark a loaded round and was unable to see the sharpie on the bullet.It wasn't much but I caught it and use a FCD ever since for hunting but for casual shooting or setting up a load I just use neck tension and the sharpie and have been ok. I use the thin sharpie with a Ultra Fine Point tiny tip and just mark the bullet Old Rooster [/QUOTE]
