9mm DIE set .. wich one.

[Mush]

I am going to start reloading pistol ammo. I would like to know what you guys think of the best DIE set for 9mm.

I want carbide sizer because I don't want to lub those small cases.

Do I need a Lee Factory Crimp DIE ?

I am using now a RockCHucker single stage press. I'd like the DIE to fit a future progressive turret set up.

Thanks

P.S. If you know an inexpensive 9mm jacketed bullet that feed good in a P226 , suggestions are welcome.

My 226 ate every ammo I ever fed it. I have a Lee pro 1000 reloader and Lee carbide dies. That's all you need. If you have the money and want to up grade to a better progressive press then you should. But as far as Dies go, lee works. As far as bullets? jacketed is the only way to go. I got my last 1000 from Marstar. I have been shooting the BDX combat masters which I thnk is the Montana bullets. They work great. Again you have a Sig. anything goes.

I went with the 3 die carbide set, added on a factory crimp die. Its all from Lee, I can see myself upgrading to a turret press though, especially if I am pounding off a lot of rounds in one day.

Usually I'm a ''green guy'' but for this time I might go with the ''RED'' LEE carbide set.

If someday I upgrade to a ''blue'' machine, I want the DIE to follow.

Lee dies will fit most presses except the Dillon Square Deal which uses specific Dillon dies.
