Having cogitated on it for a while (and not just in this thread), I have come to the conclusion that people who eschew the straight-walled cartridge Lee FCD fall into three camps:
1) Those who object to the post-sizing because it changes the sizing of their (most lead) bullets inside the cartridge or who don't want to use a 4th station for some practical reason (single stage press, only 3 die stations, etc),
2) Those who object to the thing because it is somehow "cheating" to not do things the hard way and
3) Those who think the FCD is (or can be) used to "cover up" bad practices.
I respect the first, can understand the second and just shake my head in wonderment at the third.
Can I get a "Correctamundo"?
