Has anybody tried these die's. One die replaces three so there is no need to keep changeing die's. Seems like just the thing for a single station press. Was thinking about getting a set in 44 mag.

I bought a 357 speed die last year just to see how it worked.I think the name is misleading nothing speedy about it.You screw in the die body do one operation then change internal parts to do next operation.It works okay but I don't think its any easier or faster than just changing dies after each step.

Thanks wheelgun I wanted to hear from someone who has used one before I decided to get one.

I was given one in a swap in .45 acp. It's better than Lee's "Tap & Bang" method.
