Can I buy a die set that already has a tapered neck expanding button to resize 300 wsm brass to 325 wsm? Do I have to buy it separate? I'm looking into a rifle in this caliber and brass is extra expensive.
 
The Lee ones are tapered too.

No, not all of them. Most of the pistol dies and others that have an additional powder die use the universal pin (right).

Their collet dies have a very short taper then an ID mandrel they compress the case to (1st and 3rd from the left).

They even have different tapers in the same caliber like the .300 WM and 300 Blk (4th and 5th from the left).
