LEE 264 Win.Mag. Die Set for Precision Reloading and Hunting Ammunition
Die Lee Limited Production 2-Die Set for Caliber .264 Winchester Magnum.
This precision-engineered kit, crafted from high-grade steel, is specifically designed for metallic and semi-metallic reloading enthusiasts seeking optimal performance and reliability in their .264 Winchester Magnum cartridges.
The comprehensive 2-die set includes the following components:
Full-Length Sizing Die: This die is engineered to resize the cartridge case to SAAMI specifications, effectively removing the spent primer and slightly expanding the case neck to ensure proper bullet seating and chambering. It meticulously restores the case dimensions to factory standards, preventing excessive neck tension or case deformation during the resizing process.
Seating Die: Adjustable for precise bullet seating depth, this die allows the reloader to set the projectile at the optimal depth within the case neck to achieve consistent overall cartridge length (COL). It initiates the case mouth crimping process, securing the bullet firmly without over-crimping, which could otherwise cause case neck deformation or a "rolled" crimp that compromises ballistic integrity and case longevity.
Shell Holder: A robust, compatible shell holder is included to securely hold the cartridge case in the press during resizing and seating operations, ensuring repeatable alignment and consistent die engagement.
Powder Measure Scoop: This tool facilitates accurate and repeatable powder charge measurement, essential for safe and consistent handloading practices.
Load Data Chart: The kit provides a detailed load data chart; however, it is important to note that it does not include data for Spanish-manufactured powders. Reloaders should consult appropriate ballistic manuals or manufacturer recommendations for compatible powder types and charge weights.
For optimal die performance and to prevent case sticking or damage during resizing, it is imperative to lubricate the cartridge cases thoroughly before running them through the full-length sizing die. Proper lubrication reduces friction, preserves case integrity, and extends the usable life of your brass.
This Lee Limited Production 2-Die Set is an essential component for precision handloaders aiming to maximize the ballistic potential and reliability of their .264 Winchester Magnum ammunition, combining durability, precision engineering, and user-friendly adjustments to enhance every stage of the reloading process.
