Funnily enough, I've used Lee's lack of dimensional uniformity to my advantage on multiple occasions. Their .44 and .45 FCD dies vary several thousandths on the sizing portion, which has been quite handy when sizing cases to a desired size without over working the brass. It's been very useful in the quest for long range accuracy (100yds to 200m) using swaged and cast bullets.
