Factory crimp is used. I did not bother sorting the brass for 45ACP. You have to do with .223 as military brass have primers crimped.
Sorry, saw only three dies in the pic, and assmed wrongly, but you're decapping and priming off the turret. As to sorting, funny things can happen when you don't. Just a gentle hint.
I didn't think about sorting brass by headstamp until I read the Lyman manual...glad I saw that. Besides, I'm OCD so I like being able to isolate problems if I need to. And I roll my own using Lee equipment as well....great stuff for the price.
