The Lee Precision 90561 Pacesetter 3-Die Set delivers reliable reloading performance for 45-70 Government cartridges at an accessible price point. This complete die set provides everything needed to produce consistent, accurate ammunition for lever-action rifles and single-shot firearms. The three-die configuration handles the full reloading process from resizing through bullet seating and crimping.

What Makes This Different

Lee's Pacesetter dies feature a unique approach to case preparation that extends brass life while maintaining proper headspace. The full-length sizing die includes an integrated decapping pin system that removes spent primers during the resizing operation. Unlike standard die sets that require separate expander dies, this system incorporates powder-through expanding functionality that streamlines the reloading process and reduces handling steps.

Key Features

  • Full-length sizing die with integrated decapping system for complete case preparation
  • Powder-through expanding die eliminates need for separate case mouth expansion
  • Bullet seating die with built-in roll crimp for secure bullet retention
  • Heat-treated steel construction with precision-machined internal dimensions
  • Standard 7/8-14 threads compatible with all major reloading presses
  • Includes shell holder and detailed reloading instructions
  • Factory load data provided for safe powder charge recommendations
The 45-70 Government cartridge demands precise case preparation due to its straight-wall design and large case capacity. This die set maintains proper case dimensions while providing consistent neck tension for optimal bullet retention. The roll crimp feature proves essential for lever-action rifles where cartridges experience significant inertia forces during cycling. Hunters and target shooters appreciate the ability to tailor loads from light 300-grain plinking rounds to heavy 500-grain hunting loads.
