Lee Precision 90498 Carbide 3-Die Set .45 GAP Reloading Dies

The Lee Precision 90498 Carbide 3-Die Set delivers precision reloading capabilities specifically engineered for .45 GAP cartridges. This carbide die set eliminates the need for case lubrication during resizing operations, streamlining the reloading process while maintaining consistent case dimensions.

What Makes This Different

Carbide construction sets this die set apart from standard steel dies by eliminating the lubrication step entirely. The tungsten carbide sizing ring provides superior wear resistance compared to traditional steel dies, maintaining precise dimensions through thousands of reloading cycles. This translates to faster reloading sessions and more consistent ammunition production.

Key Features

• Tungsten carbide sizing die eliminates case lubrication requirements
• Three-die configuration includes full length sizing die, powder through expanding die, and bullet seating die
• Precision-machined steel construction with carbide insert for extended service life
• 7/8-14 threading fits all standard reloading presses
• Factory crimp die creates consistent bullet pull and improved accuracy
• Includes shell holder and powder dipper for complete setup
• Lee's patented collet system ensures proper case neck tension

Reloaders working with .45 GAP ammunition benefit from the consistent case preparation this die set provides. The carbide sizing die maintains case wall thickness uniformity while the expanding die creates proper bullet seating depth. Competition shooters appreciate the consistent crimp pressure that enhances accuracy, while those loading for duty or personal defense rely on the uniform powder compression for reliable ignition.
