The Lee Precision 90552 Pacesetter 3-Die Set delivers comprehensive reloading capability for .280 Remington cartridges at an accessible price point. This complete die set includes full length sizing die, bullet seating die, and factory crimp die to produce consistent, accurate ammunition.
What Makes This Different
The Pacesetter series incorporates Lee's proven manufacturing processes with precision-machined steel construction. Unlike basic two-die sets, this three-die configuration includes a separate factory crimp die that applies uniform case mouth tension independent of bullet seating depth. The full length sizing die features an integrated decapping pin and expander ball for complete case preparation in a single operation.
Key Features
- Three-die set includes full length sizing die, bullet seating die, and factory crimp die
- Precision-machined steel construction with hardened components
- Integrated decapping pin and expander ball in sizing die
- Separate factory crimp die ensures consistent case mouth tension
- Universal shell holder included (fits most single-stage and turret presses)
- Detailed instruction sheet with load data and setup procedures
- Compatible with all standard 7/8"-14 thread presses
The separate crimping operation eliminates variables that affect accuracy in hunting and target loads. Case life extends significantly compared to neck sizing alone, while the factory crimp die accommodates both cannelured and non-cannelured bullets. The sizing die's integrated expander maintains consistent neck tension across multiple reloading cycles, critical for .280 Remington's performance in bolt-action rifles and semi-automatics.
