LEE 300 Ultra Mag Die Set for Precision Reloading
Die Lee Limited Production 2-Die Set for Caliber .300 Remington Ultra Magnum.
This precision-engineered kit includes two high-grade steel dies specifically designed for the meticulous reloading and resizing of .300 Remington Ultra Magnum cartridges, ideal for hunters and precision shooters demanding consistent performance and reliability.
The set comprises the following components:
Full-Length Sizing Die: This die is engineered to fully resize the cartridge case, removing the spent primer and slightly expanding the neck to ensure optimal chamber fit and reliable feeding. It carefully restores the case dimensions to factory specifications, preparing the brass for the next loading cycle without compromising case integrity.
Seating Die: This adjustable die allows for precise seating of the projectile to the desired depth within the case neck. It initiates the neck crimping process, securing the bullet firmly while maintaining concentricity and preventing bullet setback. Caution is advised to avoid excessive crimping, which can deform the case mouth into a rolled or burr shape, potentially damaging the brass and affecting ballistic consistency.
For applications requiring a robust crimpsuch as lever-action or semi-automatic rifleswe recommend using the dedicated Factory Crimp Die (Ref. 90970). This specialized die enables a strong, uniform crimp without risking case damage, ensuring reliable cartridge feeding and ignition under high-stress cycling conditions.
The kit also includes a Shell Holder compatible with standard reloading presses, facilitating secure case retention during resizing and seating operations.
Additionally, a Powder Measure is provided to assist in accurate and consistent powder charge dispensing, critical for maintaining safe and effective ballistic performance.
An included Load Data Chart offers comprehensive guidance on powder charges and pressures; please note that this chart does not cover Spanish-manufactured powders and should be cross-referenced with local powder specifications for safety and accuracy.
It is essential to lubricate the cartridge cases thoroughly before resizing to prevent case sticking and potential damage to both the brass and the dies. Proper lubrication ensures smooth die operation and prolongs the lifespan of your reloading equipment.
This Lee Limited Production 2-Die Set represents a vital toolset for precision handloaders focused on maximizing the ballistic potential of the .300 Remington Ultra Magnum cartridge, combining durability, accuracy, and ease of use in a single comprehensive package.
