You must not shoot lead bullets. If you did, you probably wouldn't make that statement.
But, they do crimp nicely. Of course, the regular seating die crimps nicely too.
Why what's wrong with using the FCD with lead bullets?

If you use the FCD with lead bullets your children will be born nekkid.
Lee: "If you are using mixed range brass stick with the bullet diameter that the cartridge was originally designed for and you won't need a taper crimp die nor a Factory Crimp die ..."
And that's the core of it; those who don't need Lee's FCD with a post-sizing ring or aren't concerned with 100% reliable chambering don't need it and no one has ever suggested otherwise. But bullet diameters and chambers vary, ditto case wall thickness varies and if they add the wrong way chambering may be impossible, which may occur at the worst possible time; it has little or nothing to do with the loaders methods, it just happens and the FCD prevents it.
Thus, web gurus who don't need or want the benefits of the FCD stoutly proclaiming it useless for everyone else are .... well, wrong.
I agree. I don't think it is a marketing ploy by Lee true selves guys

I believe this to be true. If anyone knows different, please LET ME KNOW. I have been operating on these beliefs for many years.(edited for brevity) I have a question. How do you know IF the FC crimp is sufficient? Thanks sage colleagues
