I am not a fan of the rifle FCD, it swages perfectly good bullets in the middle and that is not conducive to long range accuracy

The pistol Lee FCD is something else, not quite a roll crimp, not quite a taper crimp. I use the ones I have and crimp the heck out of my pistol bullets.

Handguns are spitting distance weapons anyway, the furthest I shoot is 50 yards with them, I am more concerned about 100% reliable function in a handgun than what I am doing to the bullet. Maybe it makes a difference in accuracy in a handgun, but it will take something like a machine rest to find out.
