The Lee Precision 90510 Carbide 3-Die Set delivers consistent, precision reloading for both .38 Special and .357 Magnum cartridges. This complete die set eliminates the need for case lubrication while producing match-grade ammunition at a fraction of factory costs.
What Makes This Different
Carbide sizing rings in the full-length sizing die eliminate the lubrication step required with standard steel dies, reducing reloading time by 30% while preventing stuck cases. The factory crimp die provides uniform bullet seating and consistent crimp tension that steel dies cannot match. Lee's precision-ground surfaces maintain tolerances within 0.001 inches, ensuring consistent case dimensions and optimal chamber fit.
Key Features
- Carbide full-length sizing die eliminates case lubrication requirement
- Bullet seating die with built-in crimp adjustment for precise depth control
- Factory crimp die creates uniform roll crimp for consistent bullet retention
- Machined from hardened tool steel with carbide inserts for extended life

This die set maintains consistent overall length within 0.003 inches across production runs, critical for accuracy in both target shooting and self-defense applications. The carbide construction withstands over 10,000 sizing operations without dimensional changes, while the factory crimp die prevents bullet setback during feeding in semi-automatic platforms. Reloaders report excellent results with cast bullets, plated projectiles, and jacketed hollow points across powder charges from light target loads to full-power magnum specifications.
