I wish I had seen this thread before you ordered your FCD. In my opinion, the Lee collet style crimper (not the FCD) is the only way to go for 357mag. It does not depend on consistent trim length, and it won't try to resize the case (and possibly swage bullets smaller). You can even crimp with plated bullets that don't have a cannelure as it will not break the plating.
