Ready to Upgrade Your Reloading Bench?

With the newly designed micrometer bullet seating die now available across our entire cartridge offering, we will be introducing two new product lines: 

Micrometer Full Length Sizing Die Set includes our full length sizing die and micrometer bullet seating die.  Use these dies if you want to produce factory-dimensioned ammo that reliably fits and feeds in any gun. They are the first choice for semi-auto actions. Full-length sizing is a must if you are reloading for more than one firearm or reloading cases that were fired in others firearms. This die set will feature Ultimate Lock Rings on each die.

Micrometer Neck Sizing Die Set features our neck sizing die and micrometer bullet seating die. Use these dies for best accuracy, longest case life and no resizing lubricant. Only the neck of the case is resized the body is untouched so it retains the perfect fit to your guns chamber. Cases should have been fired in your firearm only and reloaded rounds are intended for use in just one firearm. These dies are the favorite of the bench rest crowd as there is no other die that can produce a more accurate cartridge. This die set will feature Ultimate Lock Rings on each die.

Micrometer Bullet Seating Die:

The new micrometer bullet seating die works so well. The case mouth and bullet are held in perfect alignment by a floating bullet guide. The bullet guide with radial clearance, allows the case and bullet guide to align perfectly with the bullet seater screw. Bullet seating screw is machined and burnished to seat nearly any point style bullet without damage or marking. Tests prove sliding bullet guide provides cartridges with the least bullet runout.

New bullet seating die features dead length bullet seating with smooth, accurate adjustment. When used as a dead length bullet seating die, the body contacts the shell holder assuring precise uniform seating depth. The floating bullet guide is reversible, simply unthread guide and re-install to allow seating and crimping simultaneously, an exclusive feature to Lee.

Laser engraved micrometer thimble and body is easy to read with divisions representing one thousandth of an inch, reads just like a precision depth micrometer. Infinitely adjustable, providing precision bullet seating depth.

This bullet seating die proves accuracy doesn't have to cost a lot.

Full Length Sizing dies are machined to the tightest tolerance in the industry. Sizing to SAAMI maximum, providing longer case life. Most competitor's size to SAAMI minimum, the problem is this results in unnecessarily over-worked brass, limiting case life. Our sizing die has a built-in stuck case remover, nothing additional to purchase. If you stick a case, using simply handtools you can free it. 

Neck Sizing dies are the pinnacle of accuracy. A collet squeezes the case neck against a precision mandrel for a perfect bullet fit with minimum run-out. Only sizes the neck to preserve the perfect fit of fire forming. Cases last ten times longer, so the savings on only 35 cases will pay for this die.
