I reload with lead cast bullets, and using my Lee equipment do taper crimp with the Lee Factory Crimp Die.
The following statement is from a reputable cast lead Vendor, how many
agree with him?

As per his website:
Please do not use factory crimp dies for cast bullet reloading. Cast bullets MUST remain in their pristine state in order to shoot accurately. Factory Crimp Dies will decrease the cast bullet's sized diameter and thus will cause many unwanted issues.
