This neck expander plug is .460" diameter, for loading lead .460" sized bullets, for a perfect fit without deformation, in .45-70 Government, .45-90 WCF, .45-100 2-6/10" Sharps, .45-110 2-7/8" Sharps, and similar .45 caliber cartridges. The length of the Lee die body limits the expander plug's use, in most reloading presses.
Oversize bullets are often ideal for use in Model 1873 & 1884 Springfield trapdoor rifles, Sharps and Remington original rifles with oversize bores, and Pedretti Sharps rifles (E.M.F., I.A.B., or Powder River).
Use this neck expander plug in our #LEE-DIE-45-EX die body, with standard 7/8-14 threads, in your reloading press. This expander plug replaces the LEE factory supplied plug in that die body, or the identical die body supplied in the #LEE-DIE-4570 LEE .45-70 Government die set.
You will also need our #DIE-45-COMPRESSION black powder compression plug, to compress the powder and over-powder card to the correct depth, to allow hand seating your bullet, in .45 caliber cartridges.
