The Lyman 7690112 MSR Precision Die System delivers match-grade reloading precision specifically engineered for the demanding 50 Beowulf cartridge. This comprehensive 4-die set addresses the unique challenges of loading large-bore AR platform rounds with consistent accuracy and reliability.
What Makes This Different
Unlike standard die sets, the MSR Precision system incorporates a dedicated taper crimp die and competition-grade sizing tolerances optimized for semi-automatic feeding. The hardened steel construction maintains dimensional stability under the extreme pressures generated by 50 Beowulf loads. Each die features precision-ground surfaces and hand-polished interiors that reduce case work hardening while extending brass life up to 40% compared to conventional dies.
Key Features
- Four-die configuration includes full-length sizing, neck expanding, bullet seating, and taper crimp dies
- Hardened tool steel construction with titanium nitride coating for extended wear resistance
- Precision-ground 7/8-14 threads compatible with all standard reloading presses
- Micrometer-adjustable seating die with floating bullet guide for consistent OAL
- Taper crimp die ensures reliable feeding in AR-15 platform rifles
- Includes detailed loading manual with powder recommendations and safety data
- Lockring system prevents die movement during high-volume loading sessions
The system handles bullets from 300 to 500 grains with repeatable seating depth control within 0.001 inches. Competition shooters report improved ES/SD numbers when switching from generic dies, while hunters appreciate the consistent terminal performance achieved through uniform bullet seating. The taper crimp die eliminates feeding issues common with straight-wall crimps in semi-automatic actions, particularly important given the 50 Beowulf's substantial case dimensions.
