I have recently begun to use a lee fcd for my 300 BO... it's the only Lee thing I think is worth the $$.
Having said this, yes that's too much crimp. The Lee fcd puts a radial crimp onto the bullet (horizontally all 'round the casing, vice a roll crimp onto the top edge of the brass) so the sides should not be digging in so deeply to the bullet shank.
Something's up.
I don't see a need to crimp any Grendel bullets. Just doing the BO b/c they are relatively heavy for cartridge size.
