I bought a Lee push through sizing and factory carbide crimp die (e.g. a single die with both capabilities) for 40 SW and set it up on my SS press. It works well in eliminating the common and annoying glock bulge, however, it is somewhat time consumming. Lubing the cases first makes a huge difference in the effort it takes to push the cases through the die.

Now I would like to set up my progressive press so it will use separate dies for the bullet seating (Hornady) and crimp tasks (Lee).

Can the Lee die do both full length sizing and bullet crimping when installed in the progressive press or must the brass case be pushed completely through the Lee die to fully eliminate the glock case bulge?

The Lee directions are very confusing.
