The Lee Carbide 3-Die Set for 38 Special/357 Magnum (Lee part no. 91878) is built for pistol handloaders who want speed and simplicity on the bench. Lee builds this Deluxe Pistol set around a carbide sizing die, which eliminates the need to lubricate cases before sizing, paired with a breech lock bushing system that lets the die drop back into the press without a full re-thread and re-adjust. The 3-die set covers sizing/depriming, expanding, and seating with a taper or roll crimp in one box.
