Die de Luxe 9mm Caliber Reloading Die Set
Lee Deluxe Carbide Reloading Die Set, 4-Piece Set for 9mm Pistol Caliber
This premium Lee carbide die set is engineered for precision metallic and semi-metallic cartridge reloading, specifically tailored for the 9mm pistol caliber. Crafted with high-quality carbide inserts, these dies offer exceptional durability and corrosion resistance, ensuring consistent performance and extended tool life under rigorous reloading conditions.
Included Components:
Carbide Resizing Die: Designed to efficiently resize and de-prime the cartridge case without the need for case lubrication. The carbide construction minimizes friction and wear, allowing for smooth recalibration of the brass casing while extracting the spent primer with precision. This die is essential for maintaining case integrity and ensuring reliable chambering in semi-automatic and lever-action firearms.
Expanding Die: This die expands the case mouth to facilitate the accurate and controlled introduction of powder charges. Reloaders can manually measure powder using a powder measure or employ an automated powder dispenser for enhanced consistency and throughput. The dies precise expansion ensures optimal case mouth dimensions for bullet seating while preventing case deformation.
Bullet Seating Die: Adjustable to set bullet seating depth with high precision, this die allows the projectile to be seated to the desired depth within the case neck. It initiates a slight case mouth flare to accommodate the bullet and begins the case neck crimping process. Careful adjustment is critical during seating to avoid over-crimping, which can damage the brass and affect ballistic performance.
Factory Crimp Die (Carbide): This carbide factory crimp die provides a robust and uniform crimp to securely lock the bullet in place. The carbide insert allows for aggressive crimping without compromising the structural integrity of the case, making it ideal for cartridges intended for lever-action rifles and semi-automatic pistols where reliable feeding and consistent ignition are paramount.
Additional Accessories Included:
Shell Holder: Precision-engineered shell holder compatible with standard reloading presses, ensuring secure case retention during resizing and bullet seating operations.
Powder Scoop: A calibrated powder scoop designed for accurate manual powder measurement, facilitating consistent charge weights and enhancing overall load uniformity.
Reloading Data Sheet: Comprehensive load data sheet included, providing essential ballistic and powder charge information. Note that this data sheet does not specify Spanish-manufactured powders; reloaders should consult local powder manufacturers or trusted ballistic resources for region-specific load data.
This Lee Deluxe carbide die set is optimized for reloaders seeking high precision, durability, and efficiency in 9mm pistol cartridge reloading. Its carbide construction and carefully engineered design make it an indispensable tool for handloaders aiming to maximize accuracy, safety, and reliability in their ammunition production process.
