FWIW

I use the Lee FCD on my 9MM and .45 ACP loads. Its just one extra step, and since I load all mine on a single stage press, yeah it adds time, but you can get going pretty good. I see it as a final quality control step to ensure proper feeding. The crimp dies just come with Lee deluxe pistol die sets, and I do hate to waste a perfectly good tool...
