I agree. I removed the carbide ring on my 40 S&W Lee FCD as it was too tight even on some plated & jacketed bullets.

That said, I have Lee's Deluxe 4-die sets for many other cartridges & only the one for the 41 Mag FCD was too tight also, necessitating removal of it's carbide ring too. The other ones I don't have a problem with.
