OK, I have replaced the "crimp die" with a 9mm re-sizing die with the de-capper removed in my progressive.
Thankfully it has enough 7/8-14 threads to adjust it to just remove the case bell/flare, or as I like to call "de-flaring" not crimping.
It seems to be working as all ammo plunks in my tightest 9mm barrel, so far.
I won't bore you with pics as you can't see much/any difference from a round loaded with the usual crimp die or a FCD.
It this a common practice that just never gets mentioned?
Does anyone else do this or have tried it?
Do you see any potential problems?
