To everyone at The High Road, I am new here and new to reloading. I apologize in advance for my partial ignorance, I am still learning from all the wise and different opinions of the reloaders out there.
My question is concerning which die will seat the bullet more precisely.
I am doing research on all the materials I will need for my Lee reloading kit and I ran across the Lee bullet seating die as well as the Lee bullet seating and crimp die. It is my understanding that the bullet seating and crimp die can perform the bullet seating without a crimp (I will not be crimping my brass) just like the regular bullet seating die. However, during the action of the lever pull on the press, the bullet is straightened out as it enters the die so it fits nicely in the neck of the case and shoots accurately. But, will the bullet have a straighter lie in the bullet seating die (seeing as there is just one function of the die it makes sense to me that it will give a straighter lie) or will the two dies give the bullet the same precise lie?
