I found a set of 458 SOCOM dies cheap and bought em (admit it, you would too, $29) No Socom Yet but I'm hoping soon. Anyway, and this will prove how new I am, there are 4 dies, the instructions say "Lee 3 die set". (these were purchesd from Lee)

The instructions also say Load data on reverse side AND it's blank.



Anyway I think the first die is the decaping and resizing die, the second is the neck expander and powder charger, the third is the bullet seater, and the forth is??? I removed the collet for clarity only. I understand this PROVES what I don't know but I'll be better off next time I assure you. Thanks in advance

That's a "Factory Crimp" die. It is a better way to crimp than the seating die but get a hold of some adjusting instructions first. Lee will send or fax them to you.
