This die set allows you to re-size the full length of the cartridge case, while also removing the spent primer. The standard seating die can also apply a crimp, if required. These conventional dies have standard threads (7/8″ x 14tpi), so can be used on most reloading machines. They are primarily intended for single-stage reloading, but bottle-necked calibres work well on progressive machines too. Case lube is essential on these steel dies. In general, we recommend using an easy-to-apply, spray-on case lubricant. Case lube saves wear and tear on the cartridge cases and your reloading equipment; you’ll feel the significant reduction in force required to operate the press!
