Die Cal. 45 Schofield LEE Reloading Dies
Lee Carbide Reloading Die Set, 3-Piece for .45 Schofield Caliber
This precision-engineered Lee carbide die set is specifically designed for the .45 Schofield cartridge, offering superior durability and enhanced performance in metallic and semi-metallic reloading applications. Crafted with industrial-grade carbide, these dies provide exceptional wear resistance and longevity, making them an essential component for serious shooters and reloaders focused on accuracy and efficiency.
Included Components:
Carbide Full-Length Sizing Die: This die is engineered to fully resize the brass case, including the removal of the spent primer pocket crimp, without the need for case lubrication. The carbide insert ensures smooth resizing action, minimizing brass deformation and extending case life, which is critical for maintaining consistent chambering and reliable feeding in semi-automatic and revolver platforms.
Expanding Die for Powder Charging: Designed to uniformly expand the case mouth, this die facilitates precise powder charging. Reloaders can manually measure powder charges using calibrated powder measures or integrate automated powder dispensers for high-volume reloading workflows. The dies design ensures consistent case mouth expansion, promoting optimal bullet seating and crimping.
Bullet Seating and Crimping Die: This adjustable die allows for precise bullet seating depth control, ensuring projectiles are seated to exact specifications for optimal ballistic performance. The die also initiates a taper crimp to secure the bullet firmly within the case mouth. Caution is advised during the crimping process to avoid over-crimping, which can damage brass cases and negatively impact chamber pressure and accuracy.
Shell Holder: A robust shell holder compatible with the .45 Schofield cartridge, designed to securely hold cases during the resizing and seating operations, ensuring consistent alignment and preventing case slippage.
Powder Scoop: Included for manual powder measurement, this scoop aids in accurate and repeatable powder charges, essential for maintaining consistent muzzle velocity and ballistic performance.
Reloading Data Sheet: Comprehensive load data is provided to guide reloaders in selecting appropriate powder types and charge weights. Note that the data sheet does not include specifications for Spanish-manufactured powders, so users should consult additional sources when using regional powder variants.
This Lee carbide die set is optimized for reloaders seeking precision, durability, and efficiency in the reloading process of .45 Schofield cartridges. Its carbide construction reduces friction and wear, enabling high-volume reloading with minimal maintenance. Ideal for hunters, competitive shooters, and ballistic enthusiasts, this die set supports consistent case resizing, accurate powder charging, and reliable bullet seating, contributing to improved shot-to-shot consistency and overall firearm performance.
