What I think he is doing is the same that I do , set the seating die so that it does not crimp , just seats the bullet and then crimps with the Lee FC die .

This. Seat first, no crimp, then use FCD to do the crimp. FCD in 44 mag does roll crimp.

None. Just the FCD does both the roll and the body of the cartrige in one step.

Ahhh--that makes semse--didn't know that--all my other Lee FCD's are pretty much just a collet inside a die which you adjust for a crimp.
