LEE 6mm Creedmoor Cartridge Die Set

90482

The LEE case expander die is an essential tool in precision metallic and semi-metallic reloading processes, designed to slightly flare the mouth of cartridge cases. This controlled expansion facilitates the smooth seating of projectiles, particularly lead bullets, which require the preservation of their original lubrication or grease coatings to maintain optimal ballistic performance and reduce barrel fouling.

Specifically engineered for handloaders and ballistic enthusiasts, this die allows for meticulous control over case mouth dimensions, ensuring consistent bullet seating tension and enhancing overall accuracy. The slight expansion prevents deformation or damage to the bullet jacket while maintaining proper case neck tension, which is critical for reliable chambering and consistent muzzle velocities.

Additionally, the LEE case expander die features a top funnel opening that enables manual powder charging directly into the case. This design allows the reloader to measure and dispense precise powder charges using a powder measure or funnel, streamlining the reloading workflow and improving safety by minimizing spillage.

For advanced reloading setups, the expander die can be modified by removing the upper threaded cap to install a disc powder measure. This integrated powder dispenser simultaneously expands the case mouth and deposits an exact, pre-selected powder charge into the case, optimizing efficiency and repeatability in high-volume reloading operations.

It is imperative to ensure that the cartridge case is properly seated on the shellholder before powder charging to prevent powder spillage onto the press components, which could compromise safety and equipment integrity. Proper case positioning also guarantees uniform powder distribution and consistent internal ballistics.

In summary, the LEE case expander die is a versatile and indispensable component for reloaders seeking precision, efficiency, and reliability in their ammunition manufacturing process. Its compatibility with lead bullets and integrated powder charging options make it a valuable addition to any reloading bench, enhancing both the quality and safety of handloaded ammunition.
