got a question now that im taking the plunge into an AI version of the 22-250. ive done some searching about this AI version and got a few answers but i also got a few other questions!

I plan to get the LEE collet die cuz i already know it can be used to neck size AI cases, but can the reg 22-250 dies be used to seat bullets for the AI cases? i assume yes because the die doesnt do any sizing but just suppports the neck while the bullet is seated and or crimping if needed (i never crimp anyway).

so its either buy the deluxe set of reg 22-250 ($30) with the collet die with it already or buy the AI version dies ($32) and get the collet die separate ($18). The first option would save me $18, but from all ive read about minimal to non-existant case stretch i do not see the need to have a full length resizer die for the AI case.

can anyone shed some light on this from their own experiences reloading for this. Thanks.
