I think I'm missing a die...

Want to load .223 on the progressive Lee Loadmaster.

Currently loading 9mm on it. The powder system is on the flare die (I believe?)

So I bought the Lee 4 die set, thinking that would give me all the dies I need.

It comes with a Full length sizing die. A neck sizing die. A bullet seating die and a factory crimp die.

I could be wrong, but I believe none of those dies will be suitable to attach the powder delivery system?

Do I need to hunt down a 223 flaring die? What am I missing here?

Thanks in advance for your input.

I believe you would want the Lee rifle charging die.

No need for a 223 flaring die, I'm not even sure there is such a thing. From the Lee link below it looks like you need a Rifle Charging Die.

You are correct, you need a rifle charging die. You can buy a set of 2, that will cover most casing sizes, it is part number 90995, price is about $30.

Universal flaring dies are mostly used for cast bullets or bullets with extremely flat bases
