I have the die sets for the calibers I shoot most often, but not for every caliber I own. One of the couple I don't have die sets for is .380 and while I don't shoot the .380 much one day of loading would last me a whole year and instead of having to rely on retailers having ammo in stock so long as I have bullets I need not worry if I'm reloading.
So, I think it's as good a time as any to grab a set of .380 dies.
The only 3 die set that I've ever bought was for .45 ACP and that was because I had every intention of using the .45 ACP in a revolver and figured if I ever needed or wanted the Lee FCD I could get it later. No such thoughts of ever using .380 in a revolver, don't see the point of that caliber in a revolver. Seeing the price of just the factory crimp die, it looks like I'd save a few bucks going with the 4 die set, but if it's not necessary then I won't bother.
Thanks for the input folks.
