The 4th is the factory crimp die. It let's you put a factory like crimp on the throat so the bullet feeds and preforms as close as possible to factory specs.

No. Carbide dies are so smooth surfaced that they need no lubrication. What is called regular dies need some lubricant to keep the shell casing from getting stuck. Most carbide dies come in pistol calibers with very few rifle calibers. If you load pistol ammunition carbide dies are in my opinion the only way to reload. " Just my opinion." There are a lot of people out there with good advice and bad advice use good common sense and never stop asking why.

The dies are carbide, but, however you should always spray you cases with case lube prior to reloading to be safe. I add just one mist over them in my bucket before I start and never have a problem. Before I bought the live I did make about 500 bullets without lube. I used denatured alcohol before the lube and worked just as well.

No, there is a separate expander die. The three die set contains the sizing/depriming die, an expander die, and a bullet seating/crimping die.

They are 4" Die Cast numbers with self adhesive backs. The same company makes them.

No, you have to get the specific dies for the caliber you are loading separately.

Yes this set comes with all four dies. Reshape/deprime, widen, bullet seat, and crimp

Yes. it includes a re-sizing die, bullet seating die and a crimping die. The crimping die is rarely needed as once the bullet is seated it is stuck firm in the case. Excellent die set, just make sure you use enough lube on the cases (never lube the shoulder though) so they re-size smoothly.

You can use any die set for .223. Usually they come with sizing die, bullet feed die, powder through die.. And get a factory crimp die.. The Lee .223 set is the best deal for the money..here the description: Lee Precision 223 Pacesetter 3-Die Set includes Full Length Sizing Die, Bullet Seating Die, Factory Crimp Die, Universal Shell Holder, Powder Dipper and Instructions with Load Data. $31.00

this lee precision die set has a depriming die that also reshapes dented brass, has a powder die, has a bullet seat and a bullet crimp for long tearm storage, most die sets dont have a bullet crimp die. it also has a dipper and shell holder for your single stage reloading. the extra crimp die ,dipper and shell holder is what sets the lee dies apart from the rest.

I believe you're referring to carbide and non carbide. Most all dies are now carbide and are what you should get.

The Lee dies that come with the press are the carbide three die set that include the sizing and depriming die, the powder through die, and the bullet seating die. I purchased the universal depriming die, and the factory crimp die for the press. It works great with this set up.

I suggest the carbide 4 die set, that way you have the option to use the fcd to see if it improves your reloads or not. I actually bought the 3 die set and purchased the fcd separately and wish I would have bought the 4 die set to start with and saved some time and money. I don't mind the extra step even with a single stage press.

I had always been under the impression that only the pistol-caliber resizing dies were available in full-length carbide. I have never seen one in .308 or any other rifle caliber

I purchased the Lee Loadmaster for .223 and it came with a LEE FULL length carbide sizing die set. This was ready to rock and roll out of the package. I replaced that die set with a .300 AAC Blackout Die sets to load .300 AAC Blackout. It's easy and fun and Lee supports their product. I broke the sizing die rod (it was my fault), I called Lee and they sent me another one free of charge. Good luck

I actually contacted Lee directly and asked about carbide dies. The response I got on 6/6/14 from Lee Precision Support <info@leeprecision.com> was, "We do not manufacture ANY carbide rifle dies, especially for a bottle neck case. Neck sizing dies do not require lube, that is available in the Ultimate die set, I think this is what confused you."

The three die set has 1. sizer; 2. expander; 3. bullet seater. I believe the seater can be adjusted to provide a roll crimp. There is an optional die, the factory crimp die which provides a taper crimp. The die in a revolver caliber provide a roll crimp, while pistol calibers (which headspace on the case mouth) provide a taper crimp. To be sure of this info you might go to www.leeprecision.com.
