I have a neck die kit for my 308. I recently came into a bunch of once fired brass from a different gun, so I went to get a 308 FL die. Turns out that getting a single die from RCBS or Redding is more expensive than the kit from Lee which includes a factory crimp die. I do not currently have a factory crimp die for 308. Would the factory crimp die be useful?

I like using the factory taper crimp die for 45 ACP, but had never heard of a factory crimp die for rifles.
 
that's because a single redding die is worth more than the kit from lee :)

what gun you shooting this in?
 
A Savage 12 series with heavy stainless barrel and laminate stock. With AccuTrigger. The gun shoots much better than I do, so I'm hoping to grow into it. :)
