[QUOTE="Ahall, post: 3726241, member: 49426"] 2 die set for rifle (bottle neck shells) Decap/ resize Seat/crimp 3 die set, straight wall (45/70, 357, 9.mm) decap/ resize neck expand/flair (very useful with cast lead bullets and sometimes has a through hole for powder dropping on a progressive press) Seat/ crimp 4 die set decap/ resize neck expand/flair (very useful with cast lead bullets) Seat/ crimp #4 could be a through powder die for a progressive press could be an different type of crimp die could be something else Lee says Set includes: * Carbide Factory Crimp Die * Powder Through Expanding Die * Bullet Seat & Feed Die * Carbide Sizing Die * Shellholder * Powder measure and charge table As to what you need depends on what your trying to accomplish. 2 die rifle sets are fine for producing a basic hunting load 3 dies are very nice if you are shooting cast lead from a old black powder cartridge gun or need a bit of flare to get the bullets to start easily. 4 dies - your squeezing out that last bit of something. And like most sporting goods, someone is always coming up with some new gizmo marketed to improve your game, so expect to see more new stuff you don't really need by Christmas. [/QUOTE]
