What will I need for reloading?

This die set that Gordon suggested is a 2 die set, and if I am understanding correctly, it crimps.

There's a roll crimp feature in the seating die. I don't use that, on any caliber. I use Lee Factory Crimp Dies. The crimp feature in the seating die puts downward pressure on the case. The factory crimp die doesn't. It's a squeeze type collet crimp.

I don't crimp using those dies. I do set them up to remove the bell on the case. I have to bell because I shoot cast 99% of the time.

You don't crimp at all with cast, right?

Roll crimping cast will not hurt a thing. Don't need as tight of a crimp as if ya were using a jacketed bullet though.

I know you are mostly talking about the 300 blackout but if one is loading for a tube fed mag or any mag when the gun has heavy recoil, it is always recommended to crimp.

Thanks to our very own Volzfan, I now have a Lee single stage press.   :up:  One step closer.
