Die Caliber 455 Webley Mark II LEE Reloading Die
Lee Carbide Die Set, 3-Piece Kit for Caliber .455 Webley Mark II Reloading
This professional-grade Lee carbide die set is specifically engineered for the precise reloading of .455 Webley Mark II cartridges, offering superior durability and enhanced performance for metallic and semi-metallic cartridge cases. The set includes three meticulously crafted carbide dies designed to optimize each stage of the reloading process, ensuring consistent case dimensions, reliable powder charge seating, and accurate bullet seating depth.
Included Components:
Carbide Resizing Die: This die is expertly designed to recalibrate the cartridge case and remove the piston without the need for lubricating the case. The carbide construction provides exceptional wear resistance and smooth resizing action, minimizing case friction and extending case life during repeated reloads.
Expanding Die: This die expands the case mouth to facilitate the efficient and controlled introduction of powder charges. It is compatible with both manual powder measures and automated powder dispensers, allowing reloaders to precisely meter the propellant for optimal ballistic performance and pressure consistency.
Bullet Seating Die: Adjustable to set the bullet seating depth with high precision, this die ensures the projectile is seated to the desired depth within the case neck. It also initiates the case mouth crimping process, securing the bullet firmly in place. Reloaders must exercise caution during the crimping phase to avoid over-crimping, which can deform or damage the cartridge cases.
Shell Holder: A dedicated shell holder is included to securely position the cartridge case within the press, ensuring proper alignment and consistent die engagement throughout the reloading cycle.
Powder Scoop: The set also features a powder scoop designed for accurate and convenient handling of propellant charges, facilitating efficient powder measurement and transfer.
Loading Data Sheet: A comprehensive loading data sheet is provided, detailing recommended charge weights and pressures. Note that this sheet does not include specifications for Spanish-manufactured powders, so reloaders should consult additional sources when using such propellants.
This Lee carbide die set is an essential tool for precision handloaders and ballistic enthusiasts seeking to maintain tight tolerances, improve cartridge reliability, and maximize the performance of their .455 Webley Mark II ammunition. Its robust carbide construction and ergonomic design make it ideal for both novice and experienced reloaders focused on metallic and semi-metallic cartridge case reloading.
