Been getting prepared!

Well I got my Lee FCD modded today!! The top of the crimp ended up being .067" from the case mouth and the crimp groove ended up being .0535" wide.

I also got my flash hole deburring tool Here is what I removed from the flash holes of 31 cases.

I also took the seating plug out of the seating die and put a bit of an angle on the end and polished it up. It got rid of the little ring it was leaving on the bullets while seating.
