Permit me to clarify, unemotionally, my position regarding the use of the FCD for crimping .223s for ARs. I never noticed a difference in accuracy, one-way-or-the-other, because I never did any serious testing of crimped vs. non-crimped rounds. I do know that my bolt rifles do better with non-crimped rounds.

I quit crimping my AR ammo, due to my belief that such crimping was superfluous.
