I've got everything lined up, the cartridges, bullets, primers, lee anniversary set (hey I'm cheap, whatchagonnado) all that. If I need to trim a case I can get that done too.
But a couple things bug me... I really have the urge to buy the $9 plain old .223 dies, but these other fancier ones sound very appealing. Normally I can pass up appealing for cheap, but they sound like they even save money in the long run.
Secondly, is there any need for a crimping die? This will be my first batch reloading, so it's all pretty new.
RCBS X-Sizer Die
"X-Sizer Dies reduce the total number of reloading operations by limiting the growth of the overall case length of each cartridge."

Lee Collet Dies
" A collet squeezes the case neck against a precision mandrel for a perfect bullet fit with minimum run-out. No case lube is needed. Cases last ten times longer,"

" The Lee Deluxe Rifle Sizing Die Set offers the choice of neck sizing or full-length sizing in one amazingly affordable die set. It includes Lee's Collet neck sizing die and a full-length sizing die, bullet seating die, shell holder and powder dipper. No lubrication required."
