[QUOTE="AlexDad, post: 2394471, member: 4122"] If you have the 3 die set, the 3rd die is your seater AND your crimper. However, you do not want to crimp and seat at the same time. Except for revolver dies, I buy the deluxe 4 set deals. When I bought my 45acp set I could only find the 3 set, but bought the FCD separate just to have that fourth die. You have to back your die way back out of the chuck and use your seater screw to get desired OAL. AFTER seating, then you back your seater screw way out and screw the die down to crimp. You want to crimp 45acp .469-.470. Are you positive you are using bullets of the correct diameter? Jacketed, plated, fmj, etc are usually .451 and lead are usually .452. Brad [/QUOTE]
