Yep, the Caldwell one works very well.
Definitely chamfer the case mouth, don’t go crazy but a few quick turns with something like this:
Chamfer/De-burring tool
You’ll want to trim your case length first if needed then use the tool.
So that 2-piece set you have is missing a stand alone expander die. Your full length sizing die incorporates what Hornady calls an Elliptical expander I’m not sure if this is adjustable or set. The instructions to set up this die don’t seem to mention it.
My suggestion if you want to stay in the same price ballpark, is return your Hornady dies to Midway and get the Lee kit.
Lee .458 SOCOM
The Lee kit has a separate expanding die from the full length sizing die. Then, replace the expanding plug with and NOE expanding plug like this one:
NOE expanding plug for .458
Lastly get a case gauge from Tromix Lead Delivery Systems:
Tromix Slotted Case Gauge
Check each step of your die setup using this gauge and you will be 100%.
