Lee Carbide Die Set, 3-Piece Set for Caliber .38/40 W.C.F.
This precision-engineered Lee carbide die set is specifically designed for the meticulous reloading of .38/40 Winchester Center Fire (W.C.F.) cartridges, offering superior durability and enhanced performance for metallic and semi-metallic cartridge cases. Manufactured with high-grade carbide inserts, these dies provide exceptional wear resistance and maintain dimensional accuracy over extended reloading cycles, ensuring consistent case resizing and bullet seating.
Included Components:
1. Full-Length Sizing Die: This die is engineered to fully resize and decap the spent cartridge case, efficiently removing the spent primer while restoring the case to factory specifications. It is critical to lubricate the cartridge case adequately before resizing to prevent case sticking and to maintain the integrity of the brass, thereby extending case life and ensuring reliable chambering.
2. Powder Expanding Die: Designed to expand the case mouth uniformly, this die facilitates the precise introduction of propellant charges. Reloaders can manually measure powder charges using calibrated powder measures or employ automated powder dispensers for enhanced consistency and throughput. The dies design ensures optimal case mouth expansion to accommodate bullet seating without compromising case neck tension.
3. Bullet Seating Die: This adjustable die allows for precise control over bullet seating depth, enabling reloaders to set the projectile at the exact desired depth within the case neck. Additionally, it initiates the case neck crimping process, securing the bullet firmly in place. Care must be taken during the crimping phase to avoid excessive force, which can deform or damage the brass cases, potentially affecting ballistic performance and safety.
Additional Accessories:
Shell Holder: Compatible with the press, this shell holder securely grips the cartridge case during all stages of the reloading process, ensuring alignment and stability for consistent die operation.
Powder Scoop: A specialized tool included for accurate manual powder measurement, facilitating precise charge weights and enhancing overall reload quality.
Reloading Data Sheet: Comprehensive load data is provided to guide reloaders in selecting appropriate powder charges and bullet weights. Note that this data sheet does not include specifications for Spanish-manufactured powders, so users should consult additional resources or manufacturer guidelines when using such powders.
This Lee carbide die set is an essential component for precision handloaders focused on optimizing their .38/40 W.C.F. ammunition, combining rugged construction with technical accuracy to improve ballistic consistency, case longevity, and overall shooting performance.
