I only use the FCD for bullets with the cannelure, so far only the 117gr BTSP Interlock from Hornady for my .25-06. I've always read that there is no need or point of crimping if the bullet does not have the cannelure. I've only been reloading for a couple months so I'm no expert either. I've never had a problem yet with any of them. There has always seemed to be plenty of "grab" on the bullets i've seated in all of my calibers when putting the bullets into the cases.
