Lee Bottleneck Pistol Factory Crimp Die

[alexanderkidd]

Does anyone know how to set up this die? I am trying to reload 7.62x25mm Tokarev but lost the directions and can't find the right instructions on the Lee website. It's not like my other FCDs, seems different for bottleneck pistols:

Screw the die to touch the shell holder and then 1/2 turn more. Adjust for in or out heavier or lighter crimp. Max crimp is when the four splits in the collet are closed all the way.

^^ Then its like the rifle setup? I was wondering how that could work....

Works just like the rifle crimp die; it's a collet that squeezes the case. The case operates the collet...
