What is the difference between these Reloading dies?
In Lee brand for rifle caliber i found two types of dies which is Pacesetter dies and deluxe rifle sizing dies and in this pacesetter dies it has crimp die where as deluxe die set got collet die.Crimp die is to crimp the case to hold the bullet tighter then what does collet die actually does?I'm trying to load .22 hornet,7mm rem mag and 30-06 cases so what should i pick or do i need to buy both pacesetter and deluxe dies since one die is separate among each other ?I'm at the last stage to get into reloading so need reloader's suggestion.Thanks.
The collet die is used to resize just the neck of your cartridge. This is used primarily with bolt action rifles, for accuracy, where the fired brass is formed to that rifle and only the neck needs worked to load a new bullet. Collet dies should never be used to load for any thing but a bolt or single shot rifle. Even then you have to keep the brass sorted between rifles if you have two chamber for that cartridge. Even though you are neck sizing, for accuracy you will still need to full length size the casings from time to time, so that is why they include the full length die and because your not loading them in to a tube magazine or subjecting them to semi auto action you don't/won't need a heavy crimp.
Lee Crimp dies are sold by themselves if you think you need them. If your using a semi auto or will be roughly handling your cases this is a must and use the full length size die.
I tend to buy the Lee Pacesetter dies myself. It has all I need most of the time. I did however buy a Deluxe rifle die set for my .303 British SMLE so I could neck size the cartridges because the .303 head space is very hard on cases and shortens their life span. I did go ahead and buy a crimp die if I'd ever need it.
