Couple of things. You may find the Lee FCD too short. You will at a minimum probably need to chamfer the base of the die to clear the case ejector spring.

An intermittent problem I had with the primer slider catching on the primer punch was solved with a few strokes of a file to the primer punch.

You may have a problem with fine ball powders metering. I did with AA #5 and had to quit using it.

If you ordered the micrometer pistol insert it may bind the measure drum somewhat. The end of the insert may need to be filed down to match the contour of the drum.
