I crimp my .308 loads with the lee factory crimp die. Lee claims it will increase accuracy and I have no reason to doubt it... Ive never actualy seen a post where someone says they have tried it and it didnt help with accuracy, though there are plenty of people who have NOT tried it that diss the FCD......

I have not tried working up a load without it, but with it my savage edge gives me the occasional 1/2moa group, with sub MOA being the norm..... I use the FCD for 30-30 too.... dont load any other rifle rounds yet, but any I do load, I will use the FCD...
