You will need FL for certain applications and I prefer neck dies for most reloading (until I need to bump the shoulders back).
It is possible to use FL dies for everything but you will need to lube the cases each time which is kind of a pain.

^^This! If you get Lee dies, get the Deluxe set. I sure wish I did when I bought my dies 'cause I ended up having to buy that collet die separately.

is the delux the yellow box?

I normally use red box but hear the yellow box could be the goer an not need lube? an cartridges shot in one rifle only?

thanks

Yep, yellow box for deluxe dies and the lovely collet die. I just give the necks a quick twist with some steel wool and brush inside then size. No lube because the die only clamps the neck down around a mandrel. The brass does not really slide much in the die. No trimming either as they don't stretch from neck sizing.

This is what I use. Makes great cartridges.

"...You will need FL for certain applications..." Yep. Like if you ever buy new brass or oncer fired.
