Can anybody use this thing? I wanted just a roll crimp die so I wouldn't have to change my 327 crimp die back and forth so I got this without reading many reviews. I'm a cast bullet shooter and have no intention of sizing down my bullets. I should have just bought another set of dies, but no, I gotta do it the hard way.
Sooo, who wants this die? Unused and unwanted by me and free to you. Send me your address and here it comes....

dhd: I GOT A LEE FCD (NOT THE COLLET DIE BUT THE ROLL CRIMP/SIZER TYPE) AND AE FACTORY AMMO, SOME .313 CAST RELOADS, AND SOME .312 JACKETED RELOADS ALL WENT IN WITH NO RESISTANCE TO SPEAK OF. TRY YOUR DIE, IT MAY NOT BE THE PROBLEM YOU THINK IT IS. ALL SAID ALL DONE I DECIDED TO KEEP USING A REDDING PROFILE CRIMP DIE INSTEAD OF THE LEE FCD.

they actually have 2 styles I think... one uses a carbide sizing ring, the other a collet...
I really like the collet type...
BTW... it's a toss up for me between the Redding Profile Crimp die, & the Lee Collet type Factory Crimp die...

This is the one with the carbide ring and has the corresponding smaller ID.
I do have the Redding Profile Crimp die and it has a small ID when I use the roll crimp (cartridge all the way in) but I just use the tapered portion. Gotta admit that I've started to just prefer a roll crimp and just use different size expanders (NOE) to control bullet pull. I like softer bullets and don't want to size them while seating. I'm somewhat OCD with my toys.
Anyway, Scott the die is headed your way...
