You'll love the Lee Factory Crimp Die. As a matter of fact I have them for every caliber that I load; and I highly recommend them. I've never had a problem with them and they do seem to contribute to consistancy when it comes to velocity and accuracy. No factory crimped load I have ever shot did not display at least acceptable accuracy for hunting and most are better than that. I consider the Lee Factory Crimp Dies to be an essential tool.

Also, they do let you apply a crimp any place on the bullet that you want, so you are not limited to the crimp groove or to using only bullets with crimp grooves.

Hope this helps!

I've never had a damaged case and I agree with Bill Lester that the Lee Factory Crimp Dies do help maintain uniform pressures and are a slight aid to accuracy.

Who ran the add about a Lee FCD damaging a case? Sounds kind of fishy to me!
