[QUOTE="CBH Australia, post: 2312117, member: 116486"] I previously had a crimp die for my .458wm, when a .375H&H replaced that I got the Lee FCD. People have recommended these for heavy recoiling cartridges for sometime that I know of. I've posted earlier that I'm testing these on other cartridges to try help accuracy. While it's not neck tension it's said it may help consistent release pressure s aiding accuracy. As my issue is inconsistent velocity I'm trying this. I have otherwise avoided Lee dies and products with the exception of the handpriners, I have several. Regardless of budget I bought Redding and Hornady dies on my modest budget. These Lee dies are inexpensive and might be a simple fix , certainly worth a try. One disadvantage is the extra step but then I don't turn necks or anneal at this point and don't have bushing dies. I might try bushing dies in a rifle I use for some club level target shooting. Looking at What ButterBean says about making sure the projectile does not move makes sense. I used to travel dirt roads weekly and kept my 7-08 with me. I carried various ammo in a case hard cases and some of that done a lot of miles. I never had an issue but these could eliminate a potential issue in that situation. A few more Lee FCD's turned up throught he week. I know I'm gonna use them on any cartridge that I expect I will be traveling with. There would be nothing worse than stuffing up a hunting trip. If I went up North to hunt it would be 4000miles return and costly. A $30 die could be a bloody good investment. [/QUOTE]
