Just to point out, I need TWO crimping dies using the Hornady progressive.  I really like the Hornady crimp die as it has the little sleeve that falls down to help center the bullet as it starts into the case.  I use it to seat for depth only.

Now the question again.  I have two options for the second die.  The Lee FCD no guts needed puts the case mouth at .422 loading jacketed bullets.  Or I could use the Lee .44mag FCD and put the 10mm taper crimp guts into it and adjust it to just remove the case mouth probably still at .422. 

I could probably buy another Hornady crimp die as well if it was actually necessary.  Since I am now loading only jacketed 180/200gr bullets would there be an accuracy difference in using the two FCD's above to finish off the case mouth?

I purchased a Mighty Armory 40/10 sizing die. Wayne, owner of MA, told me his sizing die will remove the entire bulge on 40/10 brass. I also purchased a MA .40 expanding die. I still need a crimping die and I plan to purchase a Redding Micro Seating Die in the near future.

I've been happy with a Redding Micrometer Adjustable Taper Crimp Die. Though a taper crimp isn't rocket science, eh?

Let us know how you like the Mighty Armory dies. I've read where a sizing die was playing rough. Here's one: https://www.thehighroad.org/index.php?threads/beware-mighty-armory-qa-qc-nothing-but-issues.891196/

Has anyone used a 38-40wcf crimp die for a roll crimp?
