Lee Precision 3-Die Set for Caliber .338 Winchester Magnum Premium Reloading Kit
This comprehensive three-die set, crafted from hardened steel, is engineered specifically for precision reloading of the .338 Winchester Magnum cartridge, a popular choice among big game hunters and long-range shooters. The kit includes all essential dies and accessories to ensure consistent case resizing, bullet seating, and reliable crimping for optimal ballistic performance.
Included Dies and Their Functions:
1. Full-Length Sizing Die: This die performs full-length resizing by recalibrating the fired brass, removing the spent primer, and slightly expanding the case neck to ensure proper bullet seating. It restores the case dimensions to SAAMI specifications, ensuring reliable chambering and extraction. Proper lubrication of the brass case is critical prior to this step to prevent case sticking and neck splitting.
2. Bullet Seating Die (Adjustable): This precision die allows for meticulous control over bullet seating depth, enabling the reloader to set the projectile to the exact desired depth within the case neck. It also initiates the neck crimping process to secure the bullet firmly. Care must be taken to avoid excessive neck crimping at this stage, as it can deform the case mouth and compromise cartridge integrity. For applications requiring a stronger crimp, such as lever-action or semi-automatic rifles, further crimping is recommended.
3. Factory Crimp Die: Designed to apply a robust and uniform crimp, this die securely locks the bullet in place without damaging the case. It is especially recommended for cartridges intended for firearms with tubular magazines or semi-automatic actions, where consistent cartridge length and bullet retention are critical for reliable feeding and cycling.
Additional Components:
Shell Holder: Compatible with standard reloading presses, this shell holder firmly grips the cartridge case during resizing and seating operations, ensuring precise alignment and consistent results.
Powder Measure Scoop: Facilitates accurate and repeatable powder charges, essential for maintaining consistent muzzle velocities and safe chamber pressures.
Reloading Data Chart: Includes comprehensive load data optimized for non-Spanish powders, providing safe starting loads and maximum pressures tailored to the .338 Winchester Magnum cartridge. Always cross-reference with current published manuals and adhere to safe reloading practices.
Usage Recommendations:
To achieve optimal case life and performance, it is imperative to apply a suitable case lubricant before full-length resizing to prevent case sticking and neck damage. This die set is ideal for handloaders seeking to maximize the ballistic potential of their .338 Winchester Magnum rounds, whether for precision hunting, long-range target shooting, or tactical applications.
