[QUOTE="NikatKimber, post: 904901, member: 423"] [B]Dies[/B] The dies are the actual tools that come in contact with the brass. The dies are nearly always specific to one caliber. The sizing/depriming step is typically performed by one die, seating and crimping are sometimes separate steps, sometimes one die does both. Dies are typically sold in sets, that include all the steps required for basic reloading of that caliber. You may or may not need additional dies to accomplish whatever goal you are aiming for. Dies are also commonly sold in either carbon steel - needs case lubricant, or Carbide - which does not usually require case lube. Some examples: Pistol die sets usually are made up of 3-4 dies, sizer-deprimer, powder-belling/expander, seating and/or crimping. Rifle die sets are usually 2-3 dies, sizer-deprimer, seating and/or crimping. The same companies that make presses also make dies. [/QUOTE]
