I reloaded 45 ACP with hornady dies that would not chamber. No matter how I adjusted the dies I could not get the rounds to chamber or fit into
the Lyman case gauge. So I got the FCD and suddenly they chamber and fit the case gauge.
Most of my brass is once fired or range pickup I guess I got a batch that had been Glocked up. I just loaded up around 700 cases with the FCD in
station 6 (I wish right!!) or 5 on my LNL and they all work nicely. Had to stop due to lack of large primers although I did have 20 small primers cases that I also loaded. So yes it's worth it to me.

Can anyone relate?
