I have heard that the FCD will resize lead bullets, but have never pulled any to test that theory. What I did just discover, is that it will loosen the bullets. I had loaded some coated lead bullets, and used the FCD. I put one on the bench and was able to push the bullet deeper by hand. Took a fair amount of force, but less that I would expect. Ok, so I took 3 of the same that I had loaded without using the FCD, and could not push them any deeper by hand. Took those cartridges, ran them through the FCD, and was able to push one deeper. This proves to me that the FCD can loosen the bullet in the case, probably depends on the brass. But I wont be using it anymore, especially for the 40, where bullet setback can cause problems.
