    Lee factory crimp

    Can someone explain the pros and cons to using this die? I've never thought about one until someone mentioned it on wes's site. Now I'm thinking it could help. Is Lee the only company that makes a factory crimp die?
    It's hard to soar like an eagle when you're running with turkeys.

    Yes, Lee is the only company that makes a factory crimp die. There are 2 different types, one for straight wall handgun and another for rifle. The rifle type works very well. The handgun type uses a carbide ring to post sizes the case. Some find the ring troublesome because it will resize a cast bullet inside the case.

    I use them on everything I load.
    Makes sure the pistol rounds will all chamber and the rifle die will not buckle the shoulder on your rifle cases

    There needs to be a "thumbs up" and "thumbs down" on here too stupid if we agree or disagree with posts.
    I agree with Wes.

    At the same time we need to be respectful of other peoples opinions or we will turn this into another FB. If you wouldn’t say something in a face to face conversation then why would you post it here? Just my opinion.
