    I use the Lee crimp dies as well. I just follow the instructions that arrive with the dies. The ammo usually drops right into the chamber gages. Works well for me.

    Same here, Lee FCD with just a touch of crimp. For me, this die is a must for reloading lead bullets, as Wes said it resizes the cartridge if it needs it.
