Think about it for a second. Normal jacketed loads for a 45 acp, the bullets are .451 normal size for a cast bullet is .452
No way your not squishing that bullet down. If its not.. Why the ring in the 1st place? Its not doing anything.

Theory or actual first hand experience?
In my case first hand experience.

Lee FCD for handgun calipers is useful when loading FMJ.
Lee FCD for handgun calipers is useless when loading cast lead bullets.

The ring WILL squash the lead bullet to undersize, don't believe it, pull one and mic. it. At least thats the case with my 45 ACP FCD.
