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.
