No the FCD ensures the rounds will chamber.Doesn't the normal tc die from RCBS do the same thing ?
Matter of opinion I suppose. Once in a while you may have a round that has a fraction of a frogs hair to much diameter that causes it not to chamber and that will cost you in a match.Lee handgun FCDs are a solution looking for a problem in my opinion. Do your reloading properly and they are not needed. Lee rifle FCD is a different matter, nice concept. But since I do not crimp any rifle rounds, I do not have any either.

I didn't know that RCBS and Hornady offered four die sets.
The Lee 3 die set is like what, $27?

The brand of dies often depends on the type press you are using them in. For instance, I like Dillon dies, but they'd be worthless in a single stage. Lee dies are nice, but to use them in something like a Rock Chucker you need to replace those awful lock rings.
So more info is needed.
I think the locks on RCBS will be less aggravating than the Lee.
I'm switching to Dillon dies for those calibers that I can, but most of my other dies are RCBS. Dillon doesn't make dies in every caliber, like RCBS does.
It's worth mentioning that serious "BR" shooters don't use threaded dies (or threaded presses) of any brand.
