The Lee Precision 90564 Pacesetter 3-Die Set delivers comprehensive reloading capability for 44-40 Winchester cartridges in a complete package. This three-die configuration handles full-length sizing, bullet seating, and factory crimp operations with precision-machined steel construction.
What Makes This Different
Unlike basic two-die sets, this Pacesetter configuration includes a dedicated factory crimp die that applies consistent neck tension separate from bullet seating. The full-length sizing die features an expander ball system that maintains consistent case neck diameter. Each die incorporates Lee's lock ring system with O-ring seals to prevent movement during operation.
Key Features
- Three-die set includes full-length sizing die, bullet seating die, and factory crimp die
- Precision-machined steel construction with hardened surfaces for extended service life
- Standard 7/8-14 threading fits most single-stage and turret presses
- Factory crimp die provides separate crimping operation for improved accuracy
- Includes shell holder and powder dipper for complete setup
- Lock rings with O-ring seals prevent die movement during adjustment
- Compatible with 44-40 Winchester brass from all manufacturers
This die set handles both cast lead bullets and jacketed projectiles effectively across the 44-40's typical bullet weight range of 200 to 225 grains. The separate crimping operation eliminates bullet deformation that can occur with combination seating/crimping dies. Consistent case preparation and neck tension contribute to improved accuracy in lever-action rifles and single-action revolvers chambered for this classic cartridge.
