The Lee Precision 90544 Pacesetter 3-Die Set delivers consistent ammunition preparation for the classic 8x57 Mauser cartridge. This complete die set provides full-length sizing, bullet seating, and factory crimp capabilities in one affordable package. Handloaders gain precise control over cartridge dimensions and bullet seating depth for improved accuracy and reliability.
What Makes This Different
The Pacesetter series incorporates Lee's factory crimp die technology, which applies a post-seating crimp that removes bullet pull variation common with traditional roll crimp methods. This three-die configuration handles all essential reloading operations without requiring separate taper crimp dies. The set includes Lee's powder-through expanding die that flares case mouths uniformly while allowing powder charging through the die body.Key Features
