Use this die to size your cast lead bullets to .459" exactly!
The fastest and easiest way to lubricate and size cast bullets. Standard 7/8-14 threads fit any reloading press. Bullets are pushed through the sizing die nose first, so no special nose punches are needed. Gas checks are automatically seated and crimped in place. Sized bullets are captured in the special container.
Bullets must be lubricated for sizing. Be sure to order a 4 oz. bottle of LEE LIQUID ALOX, good for thousands of bullets.
Or, you can apply our #LUBE-SPG using fingers, and size your bullets instantly, in any reloading press with standard threads for 7/8-14 dies.
Expand your case mouth to .459" exactly, to avoid resizing your lead bullet. Use our #DIE-459-EXP to expand your case neck. It will flare the mouth very slightly, when correctly adjusted. This inexpensive plug fits the #LEE-DIE-45-70 die set's expander die body, also sold separately as #LEE-DIE-45-EX.
