LEE .22-250 Caliber Die Set for Reloading and Precision Shooting
Lee 3-Die Set for Caliber 22/250 Remington Precision Reloading Kit
This comprehensive 3-die set, crafted from high-grade steel, is specifically engineered for the meticulous reloading of .22-250 Remington cartridges, ensuring optimal case resizing, bullet seating, and crimping performance for precision shooting and hunting applications.
The kit includes the following essential dies:
Full-Length Sizing Die: This die performs complete recalibration of the cartridge case, removing the spent primer and expanding the neck slightly to restore proper dimensions. It ensures reliable chambering and consistent case neck tension, critical for maintaining accuracy and prolonging case life during repeated reloads.
Bullet Seating Die: Adjustable for precise bullet seating depth, this die allows the reloader to set the projectile at the optimal position within the case neck. Proper seating depth is crucial for consistent internal ballistics and reliable ignition. Additionally, this die initiates the case neck closure, but care must be taken to avoid excessive neck crimping, which can deform the case mouth into a rolled shape and potentially compromise cartridge integrity.
Factory Crimp Die: Designed to apply a robust and uniform crimp to the case neck, this die enables strong case closure without damaging the brass. It is highly recommended for cartridges intended for use in lever-action or semi-automatic firearms, where a secure crimp prevents bullet setback and ensures reliable feeding and cycling under rapid-fire conditions.
Additional components included in the kit:
Shell Holder: Precision-machined to fit the .22-250 Remington case head, this shell holder ensures secure and consistent case positioning during resizing and seating operations on your reloading press.
Powder Measure Scoop: Facilitates accurate and repeatable powder charges, essential for safe and consistent cartridge performance.
Load Data Chart: Comprehensive reloading data is provided; however, please note that it does not include Spanish powder types. Always consult current and reputable reloading manuals to verify powder selections and charge weights for your specific application.
Important Maintenance Note: To achieve optimal case resizing and prevent brass damage, it is necessary to lubricate the cartridge cases thoroughly before running them through the full-length sizing die. Proper lubrication reduces friction and extends the service life of your brass during multiple reload cycles.
This Lee 3-die set for .22-250 Remington is an indispensable tool for precision handloaders seeking to maximize ballistic performance, case longevity, and feeding reliability in both hunting and target shooting scenarios.
