Lyman Premium Carbide 3 Die Set .38 S&W / .38 Super Product description

  1. Carbide Sizing Die: The cornerstone of this set is the tungsten carbide sizing die, providing exceptional durability and enabling lube-free resizing for significant convenience. This feature ensures high-volume reloading without the mess or extra steps of case lubrication, restoring cases to factory specifications for reliable feeding and chambering.

  2. Precision Case Expanding: The expander die is meticulously designed to create the optimal flare in the case mouth, facilitating smooth and effortless bullet insertion. This prevents bullet deformation and minimizes work-hardening of the brass, ultimately extending case life and contributing to improved shot consistency.

  3. Accurate Bullet Seating: A dedicated bullet seating die allows reloaders to achieve precise overall cartridge length (OAL) and apply appropriate crimp. This control over OAL is crucial for optimal accuracy and reliable feeding, whether you are loading for target shooting, competitive events, or hunting applications.

  4. Built for Consistency: Each die in this set is manufactured to stringent specifications, featuring polished internal surfaces that reduce friction and prevent brass shavings. This attention to detail ensures consistent case dimensions and uniform bullet seating, which are vital for producing highly accurate and dependable ammunition.

ABOUT THE LYMAN PREMIUM CARBIDE 3 DIE SET .38 S&W / .38 SUPER

The Lyman Premium Carbide 3 Die Set in .38 S&W / .38 Super offers an unparalleled reloading experience, distinguishing itself with premium carbide construction in the sizing die. This vital feature allows for lube-free sizing of straight-wall handgun cases, drastically streamlining the reloading process by eliminating the need for messy lubrication and cleaning. Designed for both accuracy and high-volume reloading, this set is ideal for handloaders ranging from dedicated competition shooters seeking absolute consistency to target enthusiasts and hunters who demand precision and reliability from their ammunition. Each die performs a specific function: the sizing die reshapes the case and decaps, the expander die prepares the case mouth for bullet insertion, and the bullet seating die precisely seats the bullet and can apply a crimp. Crafted from durable materials, including hardened steel and a resilient tungsten carbide ring, these dies are built to withstand countless reloading cycles, ensuring longevity and consistent performance for producing safe and accurate ammunition.
