Hello,
I had a Lyman press sitting around for about a year, and finally remembered to buy dies for it when a member here posted them for sale.
The dies I got are Lee .45acp. There are four dies, but the instructions I got from Lee only cover three.
I have the first three (decapping, flaring, seating) set up to specifications.
The fourth I cannot find much about. From what I can find on the Web, it's "factory crimp die" or something of the sort.
Nobody seems to agree as to whether it's needed on the .45acp.
I am not reloading for anything except practice ammo.
Do I need this fourth die? If not, I'll put it back up. If I do, does anyone have instructions on how to set it up?
Thank you,
Josh <><
P.S. I have manuals on order, and will not go past the depriming process until I have them in hand and have read them. In fact, I am intentionally holding off on powder so that I'm not tempted to do this! No worries there. Thanks. J.S.
