The Lee Precision 90964 Deluxe 4-Die Set delivers comprehensive reloading capabilities for both .38 Special and .357 Magnum cartridges in a single package. This complete die set eliminates the need for separate tooling when working with these popular revolver calibers. Each die features precision-machined steel construction with carbide sizing rings for extended service life.
What Makes This Different
Unlike basic 3-die sets, this deluxe configuration includes a factory crimp die for consistent bullet seating and proper case mouth preparation. The carbide sizing die eliminates the need for case lubrication during the resizing process, streamlining workflow and reducing contamination risks. Lee's unique design philosophy prioritizes simplicity without sacrificing precision, making this set accessible to both novice and experienced reloaders.
