Since the topic was locked in another thread, I thought I'd start a dedicated thread for it. I use one for 9mm, and 45ACP, I have nothing but good results using them, no loss of neck tension, way easier to adjust by seperating seating and crimping. I don't use it to resize bulges out of my 9mm cases, as it doesn't do that for me anyways, but use it for a "light touch" of a crimp, on the neck. If you are loosing neck tension, while taper crimping with it, I'd almost guess something else is causing it, but each of us load different cases, so maybe the FCD is causing it for you. I notice some cases slip right through with barely a feel to it (Rem cases), while others have some resistance. I notice it more in my 45 cases, as opposed to my 9mm. I wouldn't bother with them on a single stage, but its no problem in my turret. What are some of your gripes with the FCD? My experiences have been positive.
