What is your opinion of the brand of dies for pistols that offer the most options/profiles for seating stems? RCBS, Lee, Hornady etc…… I have an opinion/idea but am reserving it to hear from the crowd? TIA

Rifle dies are pretty much the same.
Not sure about Lee, but the others usually have two- some times three stems for pistols.
I gravitate to Hornady dies, but I'm really not sure why.

funny having just started loading for the .44magnum and scrambling to find dies for it...it occured to me that with big fat flatnose projectiles and a flared case...I could seat projectile using the expanding/flare die backed right up /out...
as it is I seat and then remove seating stem up a few turns and screw die back down a turn or two to crimp...only takes a jiffy to do it...
