LEE PRECISION - 4-Die Deluxe Pistol Die Set 380 Auto

Works great

This was on his Christmas list along with other gun related stuff.

Haven’t used them yet but no doubt they’ll work fine

I've been using Lee dies for many years. These, like all my others, give me excellent results, every time.

I think what I like best is that with the carbide inserts you don't have to lube then clean cartridges again. This set includes dies for resizing, flaring the case mouth, inserting the bullet and crimping the bullet into the case. The resize die and the crimping die have carbide inserts. The crimping die can be used with the Lee bulge buster kit to eliminate case bulge near the bottom of the case. The bullet insert die can be adjusted to within +/- 0.003" with most bullets, With expensive bullets it can be adjusted to +/- 0.001" overall cartridge length. The threads are standard size for most reloading presses. I'd say all, but there may be one out there that is different. This set includes the correct shell holder and a powder measure scoop that may or may not be correct for the powder load you are using. Upgrades such as locking rings to "set and forget" are available. These allow you to set the die depth in the press then lock it in place so that next time you use the die it is already at the correct height. I started reloading in 2020 and have made a couple thousand handgun cartridges. My equipment has already paid for itself. I've got 3 Lee die sets, two sets of 4 die carbide insert pistol dies and one set of 4 die rifle die. I am very pleased with the results I have gotten from all of them. I also bought a set for my stepson who lives in another state.
