Reloading 6.8 Remington

Anyone setup to reload the 6.8?

I am currently loading .45acp and 9mm on my Dillon 650 and would like to see about setting up for the 6.8.

I got a list of items from Dillon for the full conversion set, but I am confused about the Redding 2 piece die set. With the pistol rounds, I am used to 4 die sets, so how's this work with only two?

Certainly there is the powder die included with the powder station, but what about seating the projectile and crimping?

Ok, so I can use my current de-primer die in station 1, or will that be the sizer die?

The full length sizing die will also de-prime the case. Then there is a seating die and an optional crimping die.

Is this a 6.8 Rem SPC being used in an AR-15? You might want to check out 68forums.com for lots of good info on reloading and other good stuff!
