lost sheep,

Actually my objection to the FCD is partly your #1. It can mess up the bullet, and it is an extra step.

But more to the point, proper adjustment of the dies in the first place makes the FCD superfluous. It's superfluous in terms of time, money, and principle. Simply not needed if everything is done right in the first place. It simply goes against my occam's razor approach.

But if you like it, use it.

Getting back to the OP. It's not necessary.
