The reloading companies don't know what kind of press you are using, and the expander dies are needed by people using single stage presses and some progressive presses. You can buy dies seperately, but they are more expensive than in a set.
I can understand that Dillon doesn't include specific instructions on adjusting dies - it's easy to do but very hard to explain. Try to read the instructions that came with your dies; then have someone who is an experienced reloader show you how.
Redding "Pro" series sets are for progressive reloaders that don't need an expander die, and don't include one. They still have three dies, but include seperate seating and crimping dies. These are premium die sets and aren't cheap, but they are all that I use.
