Lee .308 4 die set help

[Porter24]

I purchased a lee 4 die set for my .308 I have never had a 4 die set before. I am shooting from a bolt gun so I don't believe that I need to crimp. The seating dies are labeled A1 and E2 which one is the better one to use. I believe one is a seating die and the other is specifically a crimp die. I don't know if it makes a difference in which one I use just looking for some feedback

Find out which on is just the plain seater die and use that. No need for a crimp. All you really need is the FL sizer to bump the shoulder .001-.002" and the seater die to plug it up and you are good to go.

Yeah, you really dont need the crimp die, I do not ever crimp my 308 rounds, or any other rifle rounds for that matter, pay no attention to that other crimp die.
