This complete reloading die set includes full length sizing die, powder through expanding die, and bullet seating die for comprehensive cartridge preparation.
What Makes This Different
The Breech Lock system eliminates threading and unthreading dies during caliber changes, reducing setup time from minutes to seconds. Each die locks securely with a quarter-turn mechanism that maintains precise alignment shot after shot. The powder through expanding die design allows simultaneous case mouth expansion and powder charging when used with Lee's Auto-Disk or Perfect Powder Measure.
