Is the seating die in this set the same as the one in the 3-die set that can both seat and crimp if you choose?

Yes , The Seating die is the same in this one as in the 3-die set, but the seating die in the 3 die set Can Not Crimp the bullet with the seating die you need to buy it by it self or get the 4 die set. With this 4 die set you get the carbide factory crimp die. That is the extra die they don't tell you about. here is what it should tell you about the dies, " you get the Carbide Full Length Die, Bullet Seating Die, Powder Thru Expanding Die, & the the carbide factory crimp die. along with the and Universal Shell Holder. This Product also Includes Powder Dipper and Instructions/Load Data." I hope that clears up every thing for you.

no, they are separate dies. The seating die sets the depth of the bullet and the crimping die crimps the bullet.

Thge fourth die is a full length sizing die that returns the case to factory specs so the rounds will feed properly in any firearm. Without it, the reloads may not work as well in some guns.All my die sets are the 4-die versions for that reason (9mm, .45, .357 magnum, .44 magnum.

It appears as though the answer is ... Maybe!!I see some responses that said yes, I even saw a video that demonstrated how to set the crimp, but mine does not as was the case with another response. the number stamped on mine is LEE-308W-D3. maybe the ones that crimp are a different number or maybe Lee changed how they made their dies.

My kit did have instructions that described each crimp die. It's very easy to change them out. I really like this tool.

No expert on dies. Different capabilities based on dies included in each set. Either should work.

This is not the same set as Harbor Freight. I have crimped 1/0 with the second largest die in the crimper.

Yes but I got mine from Mac tools. Mac used to sell this tool in a kit but I lost the crimper. All the dies from Mac work with this tool

The grey kit includes the factory crimp die, plus whats in the silver kit. The silver only has the seating die, powder through expanding die, sizing die.

It's a taper crimp. The die will be marked "TC" on the side of the seating die.

I'm not sure...I don't have any of the die cast tracks to compare it too. They are the wooden kind if that helps. Really though, with this table you won't need to add any more track. The ones it comes with is plenty and fills the whole table up. My son also has the Thomas tracks...which aren't compatible but we just play with those on the side. It's an awesome train table, my son loves it! (He's 3)

You can use your bullet seating die to taper crimp by turning it in just a bit, 1/4 turn or more depending on the degree you need. It will tell you how to do this in the instructions during set up of your die, but make sure your cases are trimmed or uniform in length or your crimp will differ.

The seating die will crimp the brass depending on how high or low you have it set.

The 3rd die is a combination seating/crimp die. Most die sets (with the exception of Lee 4-die sets) are like this. Once adjusted correctly, it will seat the bullet and crimp the case.

Yes you can crimp with this seating die. And may I also suggest the micrometer adjusting handle. With that you can go back and forth between bullet styles without the hassle of finding just the right spot, just go back to the settings you want. Don't forget to write things down.

The deluxe set comes with a neck sizing die and the red set comes with a factory crimp die . If you have a bolt or single action neck sizing is all that is needed if used in 1 gun . Full length is recommended for auto loading . Factory crimp is claimed to help accuracy . I added a factory crimp to the deluxe for a total die set since I have auto and single shot .

Normally, rifle sets are 2 dies, de-prime and size; bullet seat and crimp. This set allows for 2 styles of size, partial and full case. In the deluxe 9mm pistol set, there are Carbide Sizing Die, Powder Through Expanding Die, Bullet Seat & Feed Die, and Carbide Factory Crimp Die. Different process

Yes, these are reloading dies, you will need one set for each different caliber you load. This set consists of a full length sizing die, a neck sizing die and a bullet seating die. In addition you may need a bullet crimping die, as the seating die does not crimp in this set.
