This weekend I'm going for it! I'll be buying my press either at the gun show, (or baring any great deals) from Midway. (I'm going Rockchucker, Crusher or T Mag .) My question, which dies to buy for a beginner? I'll be loading 38 special, 9mm, and 223. I know to buy carbide dies, but which brand? How about a full length resizer die? Can I get one in a set? I've heard about the Lee factory crimp die. Can I get this with a full length resizer? I keep hearing about the X die from RCBS and the Lee facory crimp die. Boy, am I confused!

Thanks,
Gino
