Lee Precision 90532 Carbide Sizing Die .45 ACP Reloading

The Lee Precision 90532 Carbide Sizing Die delivers consistent case preparation for .45 ACP cartridges without the need for case lubrication. This carbide die eliminates the lubrication step that standard steel dies require, streamlining the reloading process while maintaining precise case dimensions.

What Makes This Different

Carbide construction sets this die apart from conventional steel sizing dies by eliminating the lubrication requirement entirely. The tungsten carbide ring maintains dimensional stability under high-volume use while preventing case galling and scratching. Standard steel dies require case lubrication for every sizing operation, adding time and potential contamination issues to the reloading process.

Key Features

• Tungsten carbide ring eliminates need for case lubrication
• Precise .45 ACP case sizing maintains SAAMI specifications
• Standard 7/8"-14 thread fits most single-stage and progressive presses
• Hardened steel construction with carbide insert for longevity
• Includes lock ring for consistent die height adjustment
• Compatible with Lee, RCBS, Hornady, Dillon, and Redding presses
• Processes both new and fired .45 ACP brass cases

This sizing die handles high-volume reloading sessions without performance degradation, making it suitable for competitive shooters processing hundreds of cases weekly. The carbide construction maintains consistent case neck tension and overall length specifications critical for accuracy in target shooting and IDPA competition. Temperature variations and extended use cycles have minimal impact on sizing consistency compared to standard steel alternatives.
