I missed that this was posted in the "Single Stage" forum so I'm not sure what I would do, probably buy the 4-Die set. I think enough about them and what they do that I custom ordered Carbide FCDs for both the 25 Auto and 9mm Makarov. Now, they are available without the additional expense. My 45 Auto needed to work with a .457 bullet so I ordered a custom die of it.

I don't care for the die with revolver cartridges applying the roll crimp. I use the Collet FCDs that Lee offers instead.

I'm going to move this to the die forum.
