I use the FCD in several calibers and like it, primarily because I can straighten the case and/or semi-crimp with the seating die and crimp with the FCD. But in .38 Special the post sizing ring is so snug It's causing problems. I tried the standby "get rid of it/it's garbage/learn how to reload" option but I can't get my wadcutters to seat and crimp at the same time (this type has crimp groove) without mangling and smearing to some extent. I know all you experts have no trouble with it but I am.
What I prefer is to have control over it and seat and crimp separately. I realize I could just buy a separate crimp die but I'm cheap and would like to try to make this work first.
Thanks for any input.
