Powder Through Expanding Die for 45 ACP Reloading
LEE Case Expander Die.
This precision-engineered die is designed to slightly expand the neck of metallic and semi-metallic cartridge cases, facilitating the seamless seating of projectiles. It is especially optimized for lead bullets, where maintaining the original lubricant or grease coating is critical to ensure optimal ballistic performance and barrel fouling prevention.
The die allows for manual powder charging through the top funnel, enabling reloaders to measure or pour powder charges accurately with the assistance of a powder funnel. This feature enhances control over powder dispensing during the reloading process, ensuring consistent and safe loads.
By removing the upper threaded cap, users can install an optional powder disk dispenser. This innovative attachment simultaneously expands the case neck and deposits a precise, pre-selected powder charge directly into the case, streamlining the reloading workflow and improving efficiency.
It is essential to have the case properly deprimed and firmly seated on the shell holder before operation to prevent powder spillage onto the press. Proper case positioning ensures safety and maintains the cleanliness and longevity of your reloading equipment.
Optimized for reloaders specializing in metallic and semi-metallic cartridges, the LEE Case Expander Die is a vital tool for precision handloading, delivering consistent case neck expansion and accurate powder metering for superior ballistic results.
