The Lee Carbide 3-Die Set for 45 Long Colt (Lee part no. 91884) is built for pistol handloaders who want speed and simplicity on the bench. Lee Precision 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.
