Taper crimp die from Hornady.

I am using the Lee FCD, but also I am loading the Legend for a bolt gun, therefore I use the FCD to only straigthen up the flare for the cast bullets, not for a strong crimp that will handle AR15 loading from mag to chamber.
Use the sizing die.
screwed in just enough to taper the mouth back to 0.378/9"
There's no "crimp," per se, for straightwalls as the Legend.

Cool, got the 4-die Hornady set that includes the TC, so will go with that. Will be loading for bolt and AR, so will be interesting.
My rifle needs a pretty good crimp with the Lee FCD before they’ll feed 100% from the mag in an AR. I am using the NOE 190gr boolit
