Ghost Dog,

Back when the Lee Factory Crimp dies first appeared, Speer/RCBS/Blount ran some full page ads in the gun rags denouncing the factory crimp dies, and showing pictures of how their bullets were damaged by the dies.

Lee responded with some ads denouncing the big corporation environment of the Blount umbrella companies and stated that they would agree that you shouldn't use the factory crimp die with Speer bullets, because they didn't think you should use Speer bullets at all.

Ever since then, Lee has included a disclaimer about Speer bullets.

I wish I still had those back issues.
