The Lee Precision 90967 Deluxe 4-Die Set transforms .45 Colt cartridge reloading with precision engineering and comprehensive tooling. This complete die set delivers consistent ammunition production for both target shooting and hunting applications.
What Makes This Different
Unlike standard 3-die sets, this deluxe configuration includes a Factory Crimp Die that applies uniform crimping pressure independent of case length variations. The carbide sizing die eliminates case lubrication requirements, reducing processing time by approximately 40% compared to steel dies. Heat-treated construction withstands over 50,000 reloading cycles while maintaining dimensional accuracy within 0.001 inches.
Key Features
- Carbide full-length sizing die eliminates need for case lubrication
- Powder-through expanding die allows direct powder dispensing from Lee powder measures
- Bullet seating die with built-in roll crimp for consistent bullet placement
- Factory Crimp Die creates uniform crimp regardless of case length
- Standard 7/8-14 threads fit all major reloading presses
- Includes shell holder, powder dipper, and load data pamphlet
- Heat-treated steel construction with precision-ground surfaces
Field testing demonstrates consistent powder charges and bullet seating depth across production runs. The carbide sizing die maintains case dimensions through multiple reloading cycles, extending brass life significantly. Competition shooters report velocity standard deviations under 15 fps with properly sorted components. The Factory Crimp Die proves particularly valuable for lever-action rifle ammunition where consistent cartridge overall length affects feeding reliability.
