If you have a set of ACP dies why use the LC

You still need a set of dies for the ACP since you don’t want to use the crimp/seating die of the LC. Plus the expander ball on the OC can bell the case much more than you need for the AC if you want your cases to last.
Do your self a favor if you don’t have one and get a taper crimp die for the ACP. It will make your loads much more reliable and your cases last longer too.
