The most useful Lee FCD's are those for the bottle-necked .32-20, .38-40, and .44-40 cartridges. They have very thin walls at the case mouth, and crimping with any kind of axial movement can lead to bulged and wrinkled cases. These dies use a radial crimping movement that avoids most of the problems. A really good idea!
