Before I start, I promise I searched this question and read a whole bunch of threads but didn't find exactly what I was looking for so I gave up.
Anyway, a friend of mine is going to let me use his reloading press to load some custom stuff up for my Remington 700 .308 but I have to buy the dies, projectiles, powder, and primer. I am pretty ignorant on the subject of reloading and have been researching it for days now. The only thing I haven't figured out is what die(s) do I actually need just to load a round? He has a Lee set up so these are the options I have found:
Lee Collet Neck Sizing Die
Lee Factory Crimp Die
Dead Length Bullet Seating Die
Full Length Sizing Die
I know the sizing dies are for sizing the cases but do they also seat the projectile? Gander Mountain has the Lee Factory Crimp Die and the Collet Neck Sizing Die and I have had a gift card from that place for almost a year so if either of those will work, that would work out just perfectly. To put it in the most clear and simple words, I'm just looking for whatever die puts the bullet in the case so that it stays there and then I shoot it and it isn't there anymore.
Thanks in advance for the help everybody!
