Hi all:
When using the Lee factory crimp die, are you supposed to size the round with another die before using the Lee crimp die. In other words, is the Lee crimp die just used to put a final squeeze to an already crimped round to render it just as if it came from the factory as a means to insure that the dimensions are like that from the factory?
What I have been doing up till now is seating the bullet and then just using the Lee die for final sizing but I notice that the bell on the case comes in contact with the hardened sleeve in the Lee die and it seems that this may not be the way to do it.
I've looked at videos on this and never saw any comments or instructions to do this any other way.
Thanks for replies
