LEE .270 Win. Die Set for Reloading and Precision Shooting
Lee 3-Die Set for Caliber .270 Winchester Precision Reloading Kit
This comprehensive three-die set, crafted from high-grade steel, is engineered specifically for the meticulous reloading of .270 Winchester cartridges, ensuring optimal case resizing, bullet seating, and crimping performance for hunters and precision shooters alike.
The kit includes the following dies:
Full-Length Sizing Die: This die is designed to fully resize the fired brass case, removing the spent primer and slightly expanding the case neck to restore proper dimensions. This critical step ensures reliable chambering and consistent neck tension for accurate bullet retention.
Bullet Seating Die: Adjustable to precisely control bullet seating depth within the case neck, this die allows the reloader to set the projectile at the optimal depth for ballistic performance. It also initiates the case neck closure without applying excessive pressure, which could otherwise deform the case neck into a rolled or crimped shape, potentially compromising case integrity.
Factory Crimp Die: Specifically engineered for applying a strong, uniform crimp to the case mouth, this die enables secure bullet retention without damaging the brass. It is highly recommended for cartridges intended for lever-action or semi-automatic rifles, where robust bullet hold is essential to prevent bullet setback during feeding cycles.
Additional components included in the kit:
Shell Holder: Precision-machined to fit the .270 Winchester case head, this shell holder ensures stable and accurate case positioning within the reloading press for consistent die alignment.
Powder Measure Tool: A calibrated scoop designed for precise measurement of propellant charges, facilitating safe and repeatable powder loading.
Reloading Data Chart: A detailed load guide featuring recommended powder types and charge weights, optimized for the .270 Winchester cartridge. Please note that the chart does not include data for Spanish-manufactured powders; users should consult manufacturer-specific load manuals for those powders.
Important: Prior to full-length resizing, it is essential to lubricate the brass cases thoroughly to prevent case sticking and ensure smooth die operation, thereby extending the life of both the brass and the dies.
This Lee 3-Die Set for .270 Winchester is an indispensable tool for precision handloaders seeking to maximize cartridge performance, reliability, and longevity in hunting and target shooting applications.
