Just looked at my ACP die....

I didn't think it had a carbide ring like my others (.357/.44) but thought I'd double check. It definitely doesn't. But, it's just called a taper crimp on the instructions insert. My others actually say Factory Crimp Die. Apparently they make both a plain taper crimp and a FCD for the pistol rounds. I think I'm gonna pull that ring out of my FCD's as well. I always liked the crimp but hated the swaging process. Not only does it size down your cast bullets, it work hardens your brass.
