Two types of die sets are available.
The conventional three (3) die set includes the NxGEN carbide sizing die (NX-C), the expander die (EXP) and the standard bullet seating die (ST) with built in crimp.
The Pro Series Die Set (designed for progressive machines) includes the NxGEN carbide sizing die (NX-C) but does not include an expander die (EXP) because most popular progressive machines expand the case mouth at the powder drop station.
A special seating die (PRO ST) is supplied with a large entry radius but does not provide bullet crimpingability. This set is a lso supplied with a specialized bullet crimping die (CR). See chart below to determine Profile Crimp or Taper Crimp.
Although designed specifically for progressive reloading, Pro series die sets also work exceptional- ly well with single stage presses if an expander die is purchaseds eparately. The best possible handloads can be attained by crimping after the bullet has been seated in place.
