LEE .50 Action Express Die Set
Lee Carbide Die Set, 3-Piece Die Set for Caliber .50 Action Express
This precision-engineered Lee carbide die set is specifically designed for the .50 Action Express caliber, offering superior durability and performance for metallic and semi-metallic reloading applications. Crafted with high-quality carbide inserts, these dies provide exceptional wear resistance and longevity, making them ideal for high-volume shooters and reloaders who demand consistent, reliable results.
Included Components:
Carbide Resizing Die: This die efficiently resizes and de-primes the brass case without the need for lubrication, thanks to its carbide construction. It removes the spent primer while resizing the case neck and body to factory specifications, ensuring smooth chambering and optimal brass life. The lubrication-free operation reduces mess and preparation time during the reloading process.
Expanding Die: Designed to uniformly expand the case mouth, this die prepares the brass for powder charging. The expansion process is critical for proper bullet seating and crimping. Reloaders can manually meter powder charges using a powder measure or utilize an automated powder dispenser for enhanced precision and efficiency during the loading cycle.
Bullet Seating Die: This adjustable die seats the projectile to the desired depth within the case neck, allowing for precise control over cartridge overall length (COL). It also initiates the crimping process by rolling the case mouth inward to secure the bullet firmly in place. Care must be taken during crimping to avoid over-crimping, which can deform or damage the brass, potentially compromising ballistic performance and safety.
Shell Holder: A compatible shell holder is included to securely hold the .50 AE brass during resizing and seating operations, ensuring proper alignment and consistent die engagement.
Powder Scoop: This handy scoop facilitates accurate and clean powder handling, streamlining the charging process and minimizing spillage.
Reloading Data Sheet: A comprehensive load data sheet is provided, offering detailed information on powder charges, bullet weights, and seating depths. Please note that the data does not include specifications for Spanish-manufactured powders, so reloaders should consult additional sources or manufacturers manuals when using regional propellants.
Optimized for precision metallic and semi-metallic cartridge reloading, this Lee carbide die set enhances the efficiency and accuracy of your .50 Action Express ammunition production, making it an indispensable tool for competitive shooters, hunters, and ballistic enthusiasts seeking superior case life and consistent ballistic performance.
