The Lee Precision 90542 Pacesetter 3-Die Set delivers precision reloading capabilities for the high-velocity 220 Swift cartridge. This complete die set handles full-length sizing, bullet seating, and factory crimping with the accuracy demanded by varmint hunters and precision shooters.
What Makes This Different
The Pacesetter series incorporates Lee's advanced die geometry with tighter manufacturing tolerances than standard reloading dies. Each die undergoes precision machining and hand-polishing to achieve consistent case dimensions shot after shot. The three-die configuration provides complete cartridge preparation from fired brass to finished ammunition, eliminating the need for separate tools.
Key Features
- Full-length sizing die with decapping pin removes spent primers and resizes cases to SAAMI specifications
- Bullet seating die with built-in roll crimp ensures consistent bullet depth and case mouth tension
- Factory crimp die applies uniform crimp pressure for improved accuracy and reliable feeding
- Heat-treated steel construction withstands repeated high-pressure reloading cycles
- Standard 7/8-14 threads fit all major reloading presses including Lee, RCBS, Hornady, and Dillon
- Includes shell holder, powder dipper, and load data for immediate setup
- Precision-ground surfaces maintain consistent case headspace and concentricity
The 220 Swift's extreme velocity potential requires dies capable of handling the cartridge's unique case geometry and pressure characteristics. This die set maintains proper case shoulder angle and neck tension essential for accuracy with bullets ranging from 40 to 60 grains. Varmint hunters appreciate the consistent case preparation that enables sub-MOA groups at extended ranges, while competitive shooters rely on the uniform bullet seating depth for match-grade ammunition.
