I looks like every other Lee FCD I've have/used and similar to factory ammo crimps....weather has prevented me from doing any velo or crimp/no crimp recoil testing, but I see no problem putting an adequate crimp on reloads.

I crimped it to hard and had a failure to fire. I came home and measured the case mouth and it was about .472. I figured that was the culprit. Too much FCD and taper crimp messed with the head space.
