I think the 1 I have is an older 1 . It lacks any set crimp area but has a floating sleeve with it backed out the only action seems to be that of sizing (and not much at that ) .
In all honesty I really never used that die until the last few weeks when I started the Rosschester project.

Re: Carbide FCD ~ Over & Undersized Dies
The crimping die to use on that "R92" is the rifle (collet) style FCD that Lee now offers for the 357 Mag, 44 Mag, and 45 Colt. These dies are listed under the Custom Factory Crimp Die Over-runs but they don't have the latter two in stock. They come and go as they make special runs of them. These are a collet FCD just like that of a 30-30 Win or any other rifle die. They do a great job of the revolver cartridges used in a rifle. When I had my mold business I talked Lee into making them because I wanted an open type collet that I could watch close and open for the crimp. I use them for my carbines chambered in 357 Mag, 41 Mag, 44 Mag, 45 Colt, 454 Casull, and 480 Ruger. I actually use them for my revolvers chambered in the cartridges as well.RBHarter wrote:In all honesty I really never used that die until the last few weeks when I started the Rosschester project.

Re: Carbide FCD ~ Over & Undersized Dies
Mike,
I hate to ressurect an old thread, but I may end up needing one of these. Who do you call and talk to at Lee if you're wanting one of these over-size crimp ring FCD's?

Did you look to see if they had them online. If not, tell anyone that answers that you need one.DaveInGA wrote:Mike,
