Does this set come with a die to bell the case for a bullet or is it a powder thru expand die to be used with a powder measure.I am not sure if I want to charge all my cases at once prior to seating or go through the individual steps to complete one round at a time.Thanks much for your knowledge.

Powder through expander

Actually it's both. Without a powder measure on it's top, it just expands, you can use it to add powder to the case while it's being expanded, or just expand/bell then add powder at a later time. With a disc auto measure on it, then it is a case activated powder die.

It can do both or just bell. A good set for pistol and I recommend it.

I also use Lee Deluxe Carbide Die sets. They are inexpensive and they work as well as the others on the market. (although I'm not crazy about the O-rings on the locking nuts)

(although I'm not crazy about the O-rings on the locking nuts)Yea, they s***. I replace them with Hornady lock rings.

But like ArchAngelCD said, they will load good ammo.

By The Way Broham...If you don't have a die mounted powder dispencer one of the RCBS (green) powder funnels will fit in the top of the Powder through/expander die for charging the case while in the die...

Funny. I replaced all of the hornady lock rings with Lee O-Rings. They're better by far IMHO. Just goes to show.....
