3 vs 4 die set

[ageingstudent]

I just loaded up around 2,000 9mm with Lee's 105 gr SWC. These were .3585 dia and if I used the Lee FCD, the bullets would get squeezed out around 1/16 - 1/8" after using it.. so I didn't use it.
Just used the regular Lee seating die to remove the bell from them sharp-based fatties.

Word. I've had that happen also in .40 cal and you can get a crimp die that doesn't have the carbide sizing ring from Lee that will not squeeze'em down. I have a few cast loads with certain brasses that will cause leading from that issue with the FCD.
