LEE PRECISION PISTOL DIES

The Best Dies Money Can Buy!

How to select the right die set for your needs

The first step in selecting a die set for a cartridge is to know where and what the ammo is to be used in.

All Lee Pistol Dies feature a Carbide Sizing Die. Carbide dies are simply the best way to resize straight walled handgun cartridges.

The Standard Carbide 3 Die Set works fine when using a quality controlled source of gun brass like cases fired only in your gun. More care is required when adjusting the bullet seat and crimp die as seating and crimping occur simultaneously.

Select the 4 Die-Deluxe Pistol Die Set when using mixed range brass or brass that was fired in other guns. The Deluxe Set includes the Carbide Factory Crimp Die. This die allows you to separate the bullet seating from the crimping operation. It makes setup much easier and the die has the added feature of a carbide re-sizer that does a finishing sizing pass on the completed round. This final sizing guarantees that any case that passes through the die will freely and reliably chamber in any gun.

Instruction sheet

LEE PRECISION CARBIDE DIES

Contour ground to provide step-less sizing. After sizing a case, except for the burnish, you cannot tell where the sizer stopped. Other brands leave a pronounced step where the die stops.

Designed for progressive loading.

Each die has an enlarged mouth to dependably align even range damaged cases. They are built to last for the large volume reloader.

A free shell holder is included with every set. Others charge close to $7.00 for the shell holder alone.

Lee Precision Auto Disk Powder Measure Exclusive powder through expanding die.

This die permits charging the die through the hollow expanding die. It can be done automatically with the Lee Precision Auto-Disk Powder Measure. Because the case actuates the measure, no powder is spilled if the case isn't present. Perfect for progressive reloading. It makes the three station Pro 1000 possible.

Patented unbreakable decapper.

The decapper is held dead center with a collet. Any excessive push on the decapper will permit it to slide in the collet rather than break the pin.

Another exclusive First by Lee Precision!

Complete instructions on how to use, setup and adjust are included. Every Lee Precision die instruction sheet is specifically printed for the caliber. You get an extensive list of loads with most available bullet weights. Separate lists are provided for use with the dipper which is included with the die set and the Lee Precision Auto-Disk Powder Measure. Compare that to the generic instructions provided by others.

Lee Precision Bullet Seat & Feed Die

This die updates older Lee Precision Die Sets and all other brands to allow use of Lee Precision Bullet Feed Kits. Bullet seat and feed die has a tapered end to release bullet feed fingers, and is shortened to allow space for feed fingers while crimping. It is included standard on most popular sizes.
