I haven't used the FCD because, as I understand it, I would rather have a taper crimp and not a roll crimp. If I had a thick jacketed canneleured bullet, no problem. I'm concerned about the roll crimp cutting through the jacket and causing a whole different set of issues.Quote:

thoughts?
More specifically, since I don't plan on chambering then unchambering these rounds a whole bunch, my worries are entirely that of neck tension and not bullet set-back, hence my earlier comment about canneleured bullets.Quote:

I thought the Lee Factory Crimp die was only a roll crimp for revolver calibers. Am I mistaken and did I just get a 308win roll crimp die instead of a taper crimp? [Shock]Quote:

So here I am, waiting for them to update it so I can work. Been waiting for over an hour already and nothing!

poop.
Guess I'm not getting any work done today, still haven't done anything and the software still doesn't work. I really freaking wish I could just borrow a license and use it for certain lengths of time without having to have internet connection. There is the option, but the IT guys don't want us to use that, even though there are 3 network licenses and exactly 3 people that use it. [facepalm]
On the flip side, maybe I'll finally get around to washing my car...

Aww who am I kidding?!
I believe that Lee claims the crimp won't damage cases of bullets without cannelures. I should try it and pull one to see what happens. Maybe I'll experiment when I get back. Btw I don't use canneleured bullets when loading 308, yet. I'll be interested to see what happens on smoothies...Quote:
