Don't knock it till you try it.I can't see why you should have to resize a loaded round if your brass is full length resized and your bullets are the correct diameter, it seems like the solution to a problem that doesn't exist.![]()
Don't knock it till you try it.
The FCD does two things:taper crimp, and post-size right to the base.
The original sizer won't get as far down the brass (presumably because it's belled to make the brass feed into it more easily). So brass that is somewhat bulged from an auto may not chamber in a revolver, until it is FCD'd.
I reload 380, 9mm, 40 S&W and 45 ACP and have never had a problem with any of my reloads

I still can't see how the FCD can make them better.![]()

The only thing I have read about the FCD is that it can cause cast bullets to become undersize as it squeezes down on the brass to resize the loaded round.
