The Lee Precision 90798 Universal Case Expanding Die eliminates the need for multiple expanding dies across different calibers. This single die handles multiple cartridge cases, reducing bench space requirements and streamlining the reloading process for shooters who work with various calibers.
What Makes This Different
Unlike caliber-specific expanding dies, this universal design accommodates multiple case diameters through an adjustable expanding plug system. The die body features precision-machined steel construction with Lee's signature threading for consistent case neck tension. This approach reduces inventory costs compared to purchasing individual expanding dies for each caliber.

The die maintains consistent case neck expansion across different brass types and wall thicknesses. Competitive shooters benefit from the ability to fine-tune neck tension for optimal bullet seating, while volume reloaders appreciate the efficiency of switching between calibers without changing dies. The hardened steel construction withstands thousands of sizing operations without dimensional changes.
