Ive been looking at .38 special sets and I noticed that lee offeres a 3 or 4 die set. Im new to this so if I am wrong please correct me. On the 3 Lee die set you dont have the crimper and on the 4 die set you have the crimper.

1)Now do you not have to crimp with pistol ammo ?

2)Rifle you do not its optional for the rifle right or wrong?

To me I realy feel that the 4 die set would be the proper die set to purchase, also I noticed that they also sell the crimper alone. I am looking at Cabelas's website also for the purchase of the dies.

Thanks ahead of time for any information tips or help.
