I see that the most common pistol die sets (from Lee) are the three die sets. So I have to guess that the most common practice is to seat the bullet and crimp in one step on a single die. But I hear many knowledgeable people advising to seat and crimp in separate steps, (obviously using a separate crimping die.)
So what do you do? Seat and Crimp in one step? Seat and Crimp separately? Or does it depend on other factors, like the round, the bullet, the gun? Please school me.
I guess I should mention that I'm asking this, assuming that you have the extra hole in your turret or progressive press, or the extra time for your single stage press.
