I got an e-mail from Midway today about 2:30 that the Lee Tapered Crimp Die was back in stock. I immediately order that along with the Gerber Moment Fixed Blade Saw to cut the pelvis bone on that Big Buck I'm going to get on November 15. lol Should be here by end of week.

Has anyone had the chance to use the new lee FC die? I received mine today and was looking it over. It is a different design than the other 3 we own. I plan on setting it up tonight looking to see if there is any stumbling blocks. I also ordered a RCBS 45acp case mouth expanding die as I did not like the Hornady die. Some of the other straight wall wild cats I work with, I have found that the RCBS type of expanding die works better. I plan to try it on the 450.
thanks

Yes it does. I just got mine in today. If you wanted the crimp further down you would have to cut the die down some.
