The Lee Breech Lock 4-Die Set for the .38 Special and .357 Magnum calibers stands as a testament to precision reloading craftsmanship. This set is engineered with the discerning shooter in mind, offering versatility and ease of use that aligns with both novice and seasoned reloaders.
At its core, this die set features a Carbide Full Length Sizing Die designed to ensure your cases are perfectly resized without the need for lubrication—a significant time-saver. The Bullet Seating Die ensures consistent bullet seating depth, critical for accuracy and reliability shot after shot.
The Powder Thru Expanding Die not only flares case mouths but also permits simultaneous powder charging, streamlining your reloading process. For those who demand uniformity in their crimping operations, the Carbide Factory Crimp Die delivers reliable crimps ensuring optimal cartridge performance.
This comprehensive package includes colored spline drive breech bushings allowing easy identification of each die at a glance—an invaluable feature when efficiency matters. Additionally included are a Universal Shell Holder compatible with numerous presses and a Powder Dipper which simplifies measuring charges quickly.
The instruction manual provides detailed load data essential for safe reloading practices. Notably, while primarily intended for .38 Special cartridges, these dies can be adjusted to accommodate both .357 Magnum and even longer .357 Maximum cases by making simple modifications—backing out specific dies about two turns compensates effectively for increased case length.
